Zum Inhalt:

If the phenomenon of “Hokusai in Paris” played a crucial and well-recognized role in the development of the French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, then the term “Hokusai in Shanghai” is probably not only odd, but also appears dubious to most of the people. This talk, however, intends to use various materials ranging from art works to newspaper advertisements to show that there was indeed a significant phenomenon of “Hokusai in Shanghai” in the late nineteenth century, which gave inspirations to many important Shanghai artists, such as Ren Bonian. This phenomenon of “Hokusai in Shanghai, ” in stark contrast to the ever-celebrated “Hokusai in Paris,” was actually a silenced or erased history.
