The Floating World of Hokusai

Author Audrey Niffenegger explores the life of the Japanese painter, Hokusai - creator of the 'Great Wave'. From 2012.

Author Audrey Niffenegger catches Hokusai's 'Great Wave' to trace the ripple effect of the self-proclaimed 'Old Man Mad About Painting'. Frenetic, eccentric and possessed by his talent, Hokusai's words and images have caught the imagination of a new generation of artists and thinkers, 200-years after his earliest successes.

Presented by Audrey Niffenegger.

Produced by Victoria McArthur.

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in August 2012.
