The British Museum’s grand exhibition showcasing the final decades of the life and art of Katsushika Hokusai is making a buzz in the art scene. Its curator, Timothy Clark, known for his work in ukiyo-e woodblock prints says that Hokusai believed that the older he got the greater his art would become. To this end, he began assimilating Western techniques, a practice that lives on in Japan. Clark shares his fascination with Hokusai and Japanese aesthetics.
