hokusai's postscript to his "100 Views of Fuji" ...

"From the age of six, I had a passion for copying the form of things and since the age of fifty I have published many drawings, yet of all I drew by my seventieth year there is nothing worth taking into account. At seventy-three years I partly understood the structure of animals, birds, insects and fishes, and the life of grasses and plants. And so, at eighty-six I shall progress further; at ninety I shall even further penetrate their secret meaning, and by one hundred I shall perhaps truly have reached the level of the marvellous and divine. When I am one hundred and ten, each dot, each line will possess a life of its own."

the above colour prints are from his famous "36 Views" first published in 1831 ...

Robert McGinnis ... book covers, film posters, his artwork was everywhere during my youth, and I never even noticed his name ... of course, as adolescents, we enjoyed growing up in a moral vacuum ...
