Opening Brunch – HOKUSAI: Great Art, Small Sizes

Hokusai (1760-1849) is not only among Japan’s greatest ukiyo-e artists, but also an inimitable master in the history of art worldwide. However before the Great Wave crested white and Red Fuji broke the horizon, petite masterpieces whispered their intricate detail with an enchanting intimacy. From lavish, privately commissioned works and sublime genre prints to steamy erotica and tiny landscapes, the exhibition HOKUSAI: Great Art, Small Sizes invites you explore Hokusai’s early genius between 1790 and 1815. Produced in very small editions these prints are exceedingly rare.
