The Japanese artist Hokusai and his art. The last painting is quite famous but most of us haven't seen the pieces that helped him develop his style along the way.
These are actually woodblock prints, not paintings. But yes Hokusai was one of the great masters of the technique. The art style here from the Edo period is called Ukiyo-e, or "floating world" / "transient world".
