Katsushika Hokusai · 1831
Why it's great
A fisherman stands on a rock in the swirling sea with a net, as Mount Fuji rises in the distance. This woodblock print by Hokusai shows him pulling a line against the rolling waves. The simple shapes are very bold. It's part of his series of Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji.

Katsushika Hokusai was born in Edo (now Tokyo) and worked as an artist for over 70 years. He made thousands of drawings and woodblock prints, including The Great Wave and the Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. He changed his name dozens of times and said he hoped to get better until he was 110. He died in 1849, at about age 89.
