Capturing the floating world -- The fellow mad about painting -- Born again -- Divine madness -- Hokusai 1760-1849: life and work.
"Meet the artist whose majestic breaking wave sent ripples across the world. Hokusai (1760-1849) is not only one of the giants of Japanese art and a legend of the Edo period, but also a founding father of Western modernism, whose prolific gamut of prints, illustrations, paintings and other works forms one of the most comprehensive oeuvres of ukiyo-e art and a benchmark of Japonisme. His influence spread through Impressionism, Art Nouveau and beyond, enrapturing the likes of Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh."
