Hokusai: beyond the Great Wave Gallery
KATSUSHIKA Hokusai (1760-1849) has long enjoyed a strong international reputation and is considered by many to be Japan’s greatest artist.
In May 2017, the British Museum will stage Hokusai: beyond the Great Wave, the first exhibition in the UK to focus on the later years of the life and art of Hokusai, featuring his iconic print The Great Wave of c. 1831 and continuing to the sublime painted works produced right up to his death at the age of 90.
