Trip: MFA to see the exhibit: Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence

March 30, 2023 @ 10:30 am

The bus departs at 10:30 am for a trip to the MFA to see the exhibit: Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence. Taking a new approach to the work of the ever-popular Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), this major exhibition explores in detail his impact on other artists—both during his lifetime and beyond. Throughout a career of more than 70 years, Hokusai experimented with a wide range of styles and subjects, producing landscapes such as the instantly recognizable Great Wave and Red Fuji (both about 1830–31), nature studies known as “bird-and-flower pictures,” and depictions of women, heroes, and monsters. The exhibition brings together more than 100 woodblock prints, paintings, and illustrated books by Hokusai with more than 200 works by his teachers, students, rivals, and admirers. Approximate return: 2:00 pm. Fee: $47 for transportation and admission. Lunch is on your own at the museum. Click ‘Register’ here to sign up for this event or request a paper Trip Sign Up form at the Front Desk and submit it to Front Desk staff.
