Hokusai
His Great Wave off Kanagawa is the most famous work in East Asian art. Hokusai, a self-confessed eccentric and obsessive, created with his pictures of the floating world a veritable encyclopedia of Japanese daily life and thus became a major source for Europeans seeking to understand the art and culture of Japan.
Bonn-based art historian Olaf Mextorf is as an art educator and a freelance writer who works with a number of art and cultural institutions along the Rhine.
