Status Updates From Hokusai: A Life in Drawing

Je n'ai lu le texte qu'en diagonal, mais ce petit tour de musée des grandes oeuvres de ce maitre des estampes m'a ravie !

This is a really beautiful book, and the bio is interesting. The author is clearly passionate about Hokusai as an artist. However, they write like they’re addressing a graduate level art history class or something, at times. Often referring to things in European art scene (especially Italy in the ~17-18th centuries) and specific movements and such as a way to compare to edo during this time. Totally lost me
