Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence

《北齋之後：一道巨浪如何影響世界》從浮世繪到現代藝術，北齋如何啟發一整個世紀

葛飾北齋（1760–1849）是史上最具影響力的日本藝術家之一，也是少數真正改變世界視覺文化的創作者。他以大膽構圖、流動線條與顛覆視角，為浮世繪注入前所未見的動能，其代表作〈神奈川沖浪裏〉更成為跨越時代與文化的經典符號。

《北齋：靈感與影響》不僅回顧北齋的藝術成就，更聚焦於「藝術家如何回應北齋」。書中透過北齋的學生、同時代對手，以及深受其啟發的西方藝術家之作，呈現他的視覺語言如何被吸收、轉化，並在不同文化中持續生成新的樣貌。

從日本的**歌川廣重、歌川國芳，到西方的詹姆斯·麥克尼爾·惠斯勒、亞瑟·衛斯理·道**，本書橫跨日本與歐美、19 世紀至當代，完整描繪北齋影響力的擴散軌跡。

大量精美圖版搭配深入淺出的專文，使本書不只是藝術史讀物，更是一場關於「靈感如何流動」的視覺探索——那道浪，至今仍在世界各地翻湧。

How artists from Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi to Whistler and Arthur Wesley Dow embraced and transformed Hokusai’s dynamic style and innovations

The great painter, book illustrator and print designer Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) has become the best known of all Japanese artists and one of the most famous and influential artists in the world. He was a key figure for the Japonisme movement in late 19th-century Europe, and his iconic images―especially the color woodblock print nicknamed “The Great Wave”―are frequently referred to in present-day art in both serious and frivolous forms, from sculpture, printmaking and painting to anime and emojis.
This book looks at Hokusai from the viewpoint of fellow artists who incorporated lessons learned from him into their own work, including Hokusai’s own students, his contemporary rivals and his many posthumous admirers working in a wide range of mediums, in Japan and around the world, from the late 19th century to the present. Lavishly illustrated and accompanied by illuminating and engaging texts, this publication invites readers to encounter the origins and enduring appeal of Hokusai’s delightful art.
Artists include: Félix Bracquemond, John Cederquist, Arthur Wesley Dow, Hiroshige, Sori Hishikawa, Hokkei, Hokusai, Winslow Homer, Loïs Mailou Jones, Henri Gustave Jossot, Shun’ei Katsukawa, Shunsho Katsukawa, Oi Katsushika, Eisen Keisai, Korin, Kuniyoshi, Paul Legrand, Manjiro Hokuga, Ogata Korin, Odilon Redon, Henri Rivière, Hoitsu Sakai, Hokuju Shotei, Hokushu Shunkosai, Kogan Tobari, Hokkei Totoya, Toyoharu Utagawa, Utamasa, Édouard Vuillard, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Samuel Wilson and Shigenobu Yanagawa.
