HOKUSAI KATSUSHIKA
Hokusai Manga Volume 2 EDITION ORIGINALE
Tokyo: Erakuya Toshiro 1815. Fine. Erakuya Toshiro Tokyo 1815 155x225cm 30f. cousu. - 43861 - FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS Edition originale rare qu'on peut traduire sous le titre de Croquis de Hokusaï. 15 volumes ont effectivement paru couvrant l'oeuvre de Hokusaï. Le premier fut publié en 1815 et les derniers à titre posthume en 1878. 30 feuillets avec 56 pages gravées certaines avec de multiples figures la plupart en 3 couleurs gris noir et chair une contenant du jaune hommes masques poissons animaux fleurs montagnes. Il est possible que le tirage soit postérieur à 1815 et soit une nouvelle impression plus tardive vers 1840. En même temps qu'on imprimait de nouveaux albums originaux les anciens étaient réimprimés sans qu'il soit toujours possible de les dater exactement. Volume en accordéon relié par une couture. couverture jaune à motifs géométriques avec étiquette de titre. Le plat inférieur portant des traces de frottements du papier. Bon exemplaire particulièrement frais. Les hokusaï manga traitent de sujets variés des scènes de la vie quotidiennes mais aussi des scènes guerrières également des scènes de légendes typiquement japonaises des animaux et des fleurs. ""On considère en général que après une période de production intense Hokusai sélectionna très soigneusement ses croquis et en redessina même un certain nombre en les disposant selon l'ordre que nous connaissons aujourd'hui. Cependant Michener soutient que la mise en page des différents croquis sur une planche donnée a été en réalité décidée par les graveurs et les éditeurs et non par Hokusai lui-même."" Wikipedia. On rappellera que la technique de l'estampe japonaise est très proche du dessin original puisqu'on apposait le dessin à l'encre sur un pièce de bois que le graveur creusait suivant précisément les lignes du dessin lui-même détruit par cette opération. � Erakuya Toshiro unknown

Hokusai; Narazaki Muneshinge; Bester John
Masterworks of Ukiyo-e: Hokusai
Tokyo Japan / California: Kodansha International Ltd 1968. Soft Cover. Good. Hokusai. Jacket clipped. Wrappers bumped. 1968 Soft Cover. 96 pp. "Katsushika Hokusai known simply as Hokusai was a Japanese artist ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. Hokusai is best known for the woodblock print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji which includes the internationally iconic print The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Hokusai created the monumental Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji both as a response to a domestic travel boom in Japan and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji. It was this series specifically The Great Wave off Kanagawa and Fine Wind Clear Morning that secured his fame both in Japan and overseas. While Hokusai's work prior to this series is certainly important it was not until this series that he gained broad recognition. Hokusai's work transformed the ukiyo-e artform from a style of portraiture largely focused on courtesans and actors into a much broader style of art that focused on landscapes plants and animals. Hokusai worked in various fields besides woodblock prints such as painting and producing designs for book illustrations including his own educational Hokusai Manga which consists of thousands of images of every subject imaginable over fifteen volumes. Starting as a young child he continued working and improving his style until his death aged 88. In a long and successful career he produced over 30000 paintings sketches woodblock prints and images for picture books in total. Innovative in his compositions and exceptional in his drawing technique Hokusai is considered one of the greatest masters in the history of art. Kodansha International Ltd paperback books
