I’ve been a fan of Hokusai for a while but had no idea of the range of work he created in his life and really liked seeing the selection of work presented in the book as it seems to be a good sample of all the genres he tried。This copy is bound so beautifully and even the paper it is printed on seems special and fancy。

Another of my art books bought for the prints it shows, I'm happy with the book it's a rare cloth covered one with ribbon to tie it shut。Good coffee table book Another of my art books bought for the prints it shows, I'm happy with the book it's a rare cloth covered one with ribbon to tie it shut。Good coffee table book 。。。more

Esteetika kõigepealt: tõenäoliselt kõige ilusam teos mu raamatukogus。 Paelaga suletav, kangast kaaned, kahekihiliste volditud lehtedega köide ja kõikjal suurepärased illustratsioonid。 Ka kirjatüüp on iseäralik, jättes ebamaise mulje ja kohati tundub nagu loeksin mingis muus keeles peale inglise。 (Võib olla kujundaja poolt taotluslik otsust sisust lähtudes ja seda võib muidugi ka võtta negatiivse küljena, olenevalt lugejast。)Autor on sümpaatne。 Tekst on tihe, loominguline, kuid enamasti kergelt h Esteetika kõigepealt: tõenäoliselt kõige ilusam teos mu raamatukogus。 Paelaga suletav, kangast kaaned, kahekihiliste volditud lehtedega köide ja kõikjal suurepärased illustratsioonid。 Ka kirjatüüp on iseäralik, jättes ebamaise mulje ja kohati tundub nagu loeksin mingis muus keeles peale inglise。 (Võib olla kujundaja poolt taotluslik otsust sisust lähtudes ja seda võib muidugi ka võtta negatiivse küljena, olenevalt lugejast。)Autor on sümpaatne。 Tekst on tihe, loominguline, kuid enamasti kergelt haaratav。 Nõuab mõningaid eelnevaid teadmiseid kunstiajaloost ja selle Aasia eripäradest (mida endal loen puudulikuks), aga mitte midagi ületamatut。 Mida rohkem on lugejal tausta, seda paremini mõistab ta Hokusai omapärasust Edo ajastu Jaapanis。 Hokusai töö ja illustratsioonid - amazing。 Tekst on pigem üks pikk essee, suurem rõhk langeb mahu osas kunstile。 。。。more

One of those books you can start, but you can’t finish really。 You can only say you read the text。 The illustrations though, I know I’ll be getting back to them again and again and again。

A gem of a book。

Made me wonder why art books always use shitty fonts。 But the book itself was interesting, although I wished some of the pictures were larger。

This is a gorgeous art book, so beautifully bound。 I'll give it five starts for that。 Two stars for the essay though。。。 This is a gorgeous art book, so beautifully bound。 I'll give it five starts for that。 Two stars for the essay though。。。 。。。more
