On Hokusai's 'Great Wave'
May 30 2017
Video: Art Fund
Here's a nice video from the Art Fund featuring Timothy Clark, head of the Japanese section at the British Museum, on Hokusai's 'Great Wave'. When it was first printed a copy of Hokusai's now valuable masterpiece could be had cheaply, for about the same as a large portion of noodles. The BM has a Hokusai exhibition on at the moment, closing 13th August. More here.
