內容簡介
內容簡介 葛飾北齋被譽為日本最偉大的藝術家之一,他是江戶時代浮世繪第一把交椅的繪師、他啟蒙歐洲的印象派晚期,開啟日本漫畫與圖像閱讀出版創作概念的濫觴…此書展現北齋從未公開過的【萬物繪本大全圖】(Great Picture Book of Everything)繪作103幅,這些圖畫的主題與古代中國、印度、東南亞、中亞有關,可窺看北齋對這些區域的古代人文起源與歷史的迷人想像。Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) is considered by many to be Japan’s greatest artist. During his seventy-year career, he produced a considerable oeuvre of some 3,000 colour prints, illustrations for over 200 books, hundreds of drawings and over 1,000 paintings. These 103 exciting and exquisite small drawings were made for an unpublished book called Great Picture Book of Everything – featuring wide-ranging subjects from depictions of religious, mythological, historical and literary figures to animals, birds, flowers and other natural phenomena, as well as landscapes. They are dominated by subjects that relate to ancient China and India, and also Southeast and Central Asia. Many subjects found in the collection are not found in previous Hokusai works, including fascinating imaginings of the origin of human culture in ancient China.This beautifully produced book draws on the latest research, illustrating the complete set of drawings, published for the first time."
