Zaal 40

Katsushika Hokusai

1760–1849, Japan (Edo), Ukiyo-e

Hokusai werkte bijna 70 jaar en veranderde zo’n dertig keer van kunstenaarsnaam. Wereldberoemd werd hij rond zijn zeventigste met de serie ‘Zesendertig gezichten op de berg Fuji’, waartoe ook de ‘Rode Fuji’ in deze zaal behoort. Zijn houtsneden en schetsboeken betoverden later de impressionisten in Europa.
