Hokusai pop-ups - Courtney Watson McCarthy

Hokusai (1760-1849) was an extraordinarily prolific Japanese master artist and
printmaker of the
ukiyo-e
('pictures of the floating world') school. More than 150 years
after his death, his legacy remains as important as any Western painter's. Hokusai's
work inspired a roll-call of great artists including Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Gauguin,
Manet, Degas and Klimt as well as craftsmen and architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright.
This book features six meticulously crafted pop-ups of his most famous works:
The
Great Wave
;
Chrysanthemums
;
The Bridge ;
Waterfall ;
Phoenix
; and
Sudden Gust of Wind.
