Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung - RezensionBesprechung von 21.11.2006
Der Unerschöpfliche
„Hokusai: ein Universum” hat Gian Carlo Calza, Professor für ostasiatische Kunst in Venedig, zu Recht seine Einleitung zu diesem Prachtband überschrieben, der den berühmtesten Künstler Japans umfassend präsentiert (Gian Carlo Calza: Hokusai. Phaidon Verlag, Berlin 2006, 520 Seiten, 95 Euro). Wer sich in diese einzigartige Welt einer überbordenden, dabei so genau beobachtenden wie poetisch inspirierten Bildphantasie begibt, dem werden die Augen übergehen.
Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), der mit zunehmendem Alter nicht etwa nachließ, sondern mehr produzierte und im Nachwort zu seinen „Hundert Ansichten des Berges Fuji” von sich erwartete, dass „mit hundertundzehn jeder Punkt und jeder Strich, den ich zeichne, zum Leben erwachen wird”, Hokusai hat Leben und Treiben in Japan nahezu vollständig ins Bild gebracht.

"'This beautiful monograph... not only provides a comprehensive overview of Hokusai's work but also analyses his influence on Western artists. Immaculately reproduced artwork combined with research from both Western and Japanese scholars as well as intelligent commentary accompanying each of the amazing illustrations make this book worth every last penny.' (Creative Review); 'Comprehensive and splendidly illustrated... It is such as visually stimulating read that this has to be the art book I would most like to find under the Christmas tree.' (Frank Whitford, The Sunday Times, naming Hokusai as one of the top 5 art books of 2003); 'Superb reproductions make this probably the best introduction to this artist you can find.' (Wall Street Journal Europe); 'Gives us a true idea of the great range of Hokusai's work and its enormous variety... the finest of the new publications on Hokusai.' (The Japan Times); 'Even people who think they know Hokusai's work well will find surprises in the thoughtfully arranged book, which concludes with some striking examples of French art inspired by Hokusai.' (New York Times Book Review); 'This definitive compendium of beautifully reproduced prints, paintings, and illustrations by [Hokusai]... will change forever the way we look at his work. A series of scholarly, accessible essays - admirably free of jargon - provides illuminating anecdotes and fascinating information about Hokusai's milieu, and guides us through the stages of his lifelong obsession with art.' (Washington Post)"
