The Old Man Mad about Drawing: A Tale of Hokusai

108 pp. | Godine | February, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-56792-260-0 $$19.95
(2) 4-6 Translated by William Rodarmor. This story is told from the perspective of a fictional boy, an assistant to Hokusai, the brilliant and irascible Japanese artist. Included are reproductions of Hokusai prints and drawings along with Place's own illustrations, which, amazingly, stand up to Hokusai's famous vitality of line and dynamic composition. This lovingly made book is an example of fine old-fashioned bookmaking.
