Hokusai and Contemporary Art: Pop Art, Superflat, and Beyond // TRAIN BRAIN

Hokusai and Contemporary Art: Pop Art, Superflat, and Beyond

Hokusai has inspired everyone from pop artists Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol to emergent multimedia makers Linda Sormin and Taiko Chandler. Explore Hokusai’s ongoing influence on 20th- and 21st-century art by learning about contemporary printmakers and painters who look to his work as a model, and by discussing the significance of his continued presence in popular and visual culture.
