Biographical note
David Bell is director of Postgraduate Studies at the University of Otago’s Department of Education, New Zealand. He gained his PhD from the University of Otago for his research into ukiyo-e, which was subsequently published as Ukiyo-e Explained by Global Oriental (2004). His previous publications have focused on the history and theory of print-making, and include Alexander Hare McLintock: Printmaker (1994) and Chushingura and the Floating World (2001). He is currently engaged in research relating to aspects of sensibility in the Edo period.
This important new study on the great ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai is an in-depth appreciation, involving close examination of some forty-four Hokusai prints, of why his works appear in the way they do and how he evolved his own unique artistic style. In addition to a select bibliography, the book is supported by a valuable glossary of artistic terms.
