Paul Joyce [David Hockney] – Hockney on ‘Art’ – First Edition 1999
£95.00
A first edition, first printing published by Little Brown in 1999. A near fine book in like unclipped wrapper with some wear to the spine tips. David Hockney is as fascinating as he is articulate on ways of seeing, and in this impressive book he leads us on an artistic journey where anything is possible. He considers the influence of Picasso and Rembrandt and speaks of Eastern conventions and perspective and of their relevance to his work. He points to Laurel and Hardy’s lasting appeal in his conviction that popularity and art are not incompatible. Hockney and his work have long been the subjects of controversy; few twentieth century artists have so successfully surmounted their cult image for three decades, and he remains one of our most relentlessly dedicated, versatile and original painters. Beautifully illustrated, HOCKNEY ON ART is a rare insight into the thought-processes and working life of one of the most celebrated artists. Colour and B & W photos.
