The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai (b. 1760, Tokyo) has swept across the centuries with enduring velocity, but it’s only one of some 30,000 artworks by this weird and wonderful Edo Period prodigy.
Several Circles is comprised of two loved up art professionals (and their cat, Jimmy) living and working in New York. Here, we tell the stories of extraordinary artists from history and the contemporary day. Written and hosted by Rachel, content and copywriter at the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC. Produced by Jason, a professional art installer.

Hokusai became a favorite when I was a child. I’m 70. He’s more than withstood the test of time!

Hokusai is a bit like the Japanese Picasso, I think. Very prolific, eccentric, enjoyed life, loved trying new things, and inspired many artists all around the world.

Ehh. I can see the prolific and eccentric part. But picasso was hum. Well I suggest you look up his ways of life. I have no respect for the man to be honest. But don’t take my word for it I guess, it’s best to learn about those things ourselves I think. Trigger warning for abuse on the whole thing though.

Wonderful video. His prints involving supernatural stories might be gaining more popularity in the future now that Japanese folklore is being translated into English more. There's a book out now about modern Manga evolving from American comic strips rather then Hokusai Manga so it's great that you made a distinction between the two.

I've been studying Utagawa (real name Ando) Hiroshige, and his amazing landscape art. But as of lately, even Hokusai's artwork has been impressing me, so I might shift my attention to him as well.
@TheArtTourist
@TheArtTourist 2 года назад
Hiroshige was also an incredible artist, Hokusai is just arguably more iconic (plus he has an especially electric life story). Definitely worthwhile to get to know both!

I can't stop watching these amazing videos! I love the story of his daughter living a happy life with him in his old age 😊 I have a request. The Japanese obsession in western art makes me think of Aubrey Beardsley. Some of his work seems to be much more modern than it is. "The climax" has been one of my rotating desktops for years, and it still doesn't feel out of place on a computer monitor🙂👍

I very much enjoyed this. I wish you'd shown the Nightscene in the Yoshiwara, by Katsushika Oi (Miss Hokusai); I think it's a masterpiece. There's also a manga about her as well as an animé called, naturally, Miss Hokusai. I've watched the movie here on YT but haven't checked to see if it's still available. Thank you.

There is a really incredible manga called "HOKUSAI" by Shotaro Ishinomori, but I believe that there is no English version of it... :( (I've read it in a Brazillian Portuguese edition)
@valgranaire
@valgranaire 3 года назад
Great coverage. A minor quibble, the G in Hiroshige is pronounced like hard G in "game" or "gain" instead of soft G in "gemstone" or "general." Hope you can cover other great printmakers in future episodes like Hans Holbein the Younger or Albrecht Dürer.
@TheArtTourist
@TheArtTourist 3 года назад
Ah! Thank you for pointing that out! Good to know for future reference. Holbein and Dürer are both on the list :)

What i don't understand about Hokusai and other "screen print artists" is: in what form does his art survive? Do these blocks of wood (or whatever they're made of) still exist? Are they still used to create modern copies of his work?
@michaelbenenson
@michaelbenenson 3 года назад
Excellent coverage. Thank you. I wonder if Hokusai's european contemporaries influenced any Japanese artists at the time, especially as regards portraiture and depicting the emotions..... Hmmm.
@TheArtTourist
@TheArtTourist 3 года назад
Great question! My understanding is that Japan continued to limit trade with Europe until Emperor Meiji came to power (not long after Hokusai’s death), so while the restrictions eased toward the end of the Edo period, it seems like European influence on Japanese artists would have been somewhat scant until Japan re-opened its borders. But the European art that did slip through definitely influenced those uki-e perspective pictures!
@michaelbenenson
@michaelbenenson 3 года назад
