Featured Artist - Katsushika Hokusai
Featured Artist: Katsushika Hokusai
"If Heaven gives me ... an extension even of five years, I shall become a true artist." (Hokusai aged 89)
This Japanese artist (1760 - 1849) influenced 19th century western artists like Van Gogh and Picasso as they broke away from centuries of artistic convention and restraint.

Peonies - At a time when western thought promoted formal history art, eastern artists considered Nature the most meaningful of subjects.

The Great Wave - The artist's best-known work, and almost as ubiquitous as the Mona Lisa. The simplified, expressive shapes effectively convey noise and movement.

Self Portrait - This elegant pose, with its flowing robes, renders to the theme of old age an element of grace, even as the artist leans heavily on his stick.
