Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was a Japanese painter and one of the most important representatives of the Ukiyo-e genre. During his seventy-year career, he created a remarkable body of work, including around 3,000 color prints, illustrations for over 200 books, hundreds of drawings, and over 1,000 paintings. He quickly abandoned the narrow pictorial themes traditionally associated with his school of the "floating world" (Ukiyo-e) - classically pictures of popular actors or courtesans. The Great Wave off Kanagawa of 1831, depicted here on the Be@rbrick, is one of his best known works. Hokusai is considered one of the most important painters in art history. His work influenced many European artists, particularly Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Alfred Sisley, and more broadly the artistic movement known as Japonism.
