奇想の画家たち。若沖、芦雪、其一にドキッ！

English to Japanese Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting 現代アート

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.

Painters of the bizarre: Jakuchi, Rosetsu, Kiitsu. Feel the thrill!

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!

Jakuchu, sorry.

Note from 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".

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "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! "
