About this product

Product Information

Sparky, illuminating and entertaining - here is a decade's worth of conversations between David Hockney and art critic Martin Gayford that explore via anecdote, reflection, passion and humour the very nature of creativity. David Hockney is possibly the world's most popular living painter, but he is also something else: an incisive and original thinker on art. Here are the fruits of his lifelong meditations on the problems and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional world on a flat surface. How does drawing make one 'see things clearer, and clearer, and clearer still', as Hockney suggests? What significance do different media - from a Lascaux cave wall to an iPad - have for the way we see? What is the relationship between the images we make and the reality around us? How have changes in technology affected the way artists depict the world? The conversations are punctuated by wise and witty observations from both parties on numerous other artists - Van Gogh or Vermeer, Caravaggio, Monet, Picasso - and enlivened by shrewd insights into the contrasting social and physical landscapes of California, where Hockney spent many years, and Yorkshire, his birthplace. Some of the people he has encountered along the way - from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Billy Wilder - make entertaining appearances in the dialogue.

  • 21ST CENTURY VINCENT THROUGH THE GENIUS OF THE MASTER ARTIST DAVID HOCKNEY.

    Mr Hockney has always been my hero master artist, as has Vincent to David. David Hokney has become the diverse 21st cwentury that both Vincent and Leonardo would be immensly both proud and inspired and influenced by if they were here to see Hockney at work. Or just being able to see his latest artworks. Especially the East Yorkshire and Normandy - Chinese inspired scroll master piece.
