Drawing has always been central to Baselitz's art. Parallel to his cerebral yet impassioned paintings and roughly hewn sculptures, the practice of drawing is a test-site for assimilation and disorientation in his oeuvre. In a new series of two-part ink drawings, Baselitz is "visited" by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), whose exquisitely controlled colour-woodblock prints epitomized the refined ukiyo-e genre in Japanese art and persist in the popular imagination today.
