English term or phrase: 奇想の画家たち。若沖、芦雪、其一にドキッ！
It is a magazine's subtitle of an art exhi0bit called "奇想の系譜展" wich was held at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum three years ago.

I want you to get the context of this art exhibit and transcreate this title of the magazine.

I sometimes take care of art translations, so I want to see how you react this problem.

Used for a magazine that was sold at an art exhibit.

Edo period in Japan.

art fans, artists, art students in Japan

The title of the exhibit is 「奇想の系譜展江戸絵画ミラクルワールド」
But I want you to transcreate or copywrite「奇想の画家たち。若沖、芦雪、其一にドキッ！」because this title is more catchy and claiming.

These days I sometimes translate artist statements offered by artists. So by asking you to translate this phrase will geve me some insights for me that will help me.

Explanation:
I think the wording used in the official translation was chosen for marketing reasons, and it's actually good. But given the freedom here, I'd suggest:
Painters of the bizarre: Jakuchi, Rosetsu, Kiitsu. Feel the thrill!

Thanks for your answer.
I think the word "bizarre" is a right choice.
Though Japanese arts are gaining audiences,
still they should be understood more?
Any way, I appreciate your support.
See you!

Notes to answerer
Asker: The phrase "Feel the thrill!" is really a good translation. I totally wondered how foreigner would translate this. "Feel the thrill" reminds me of kinda thrill which was given to girls from Frank Sinatra decades ago. I don't say this as old but say "old but new".
