About This Item
Boston, USA : Little, Brown and Company, 1999. First Edition . Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. Large BA4 (300 x 210mm approx.) - between A4-A3. Binding is tight but spine is slightly cocked Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting Half-title page has a few faint foxed spots, rest of the book is free from foxing. Top edge has some spots and marks, other edges mostly clean Boards have some slight edge wear 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
