Book Synopsis
This miniature biography, with text by a leading art historian, transforms into a 3D work of art by folding the pages back so you can display this great artist's work in your home. The Great Wave Off Kanagawa (1831) by Katsushika Hokusai is one of the world's most famous works of art. Hokusai's woodblock prints created a new taste for landscape and nature and caused a major aesthetic upheaval among European artists at the end of the nineteenth century. Aurélie Samuel rediscovers this iconic artist whose work, embodying Japanese spirituality, remains iconic even to this day.About the Author
