David Hockney – The Blue Guitar – First Edition 1977
£150.00
A first edition, first printing published by Petersburg Press in 1977. A near fine book in very good edge worn dust wrapper – not price clipped at £5.50.
“The Blue Guitar” is a series of paintings by British artist David Hockney. Created in the 1970s, it features a recurring motif of a blue guitar and a seated figure. Hockney’s work often combines elements of still life, portraiture, and abstraction. While the blue guitar serves as a central theme, the series is more about exploring the possibilities of representation and perspective in art. It challenges traditional notions of how objects and people are depicted, blurring the lines between realism and abstraction. Hockney’s use of vibrant colours and bold compositions in “The Blue Guitar” invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between art and reality.
