Hockney's Pictures is the first 'retrospective' to show the evolution and diversity of Hockney's paintings, drawings, watercolours, prints, and photography, including new and published works. The pieces are selected and organized by
David Hockney himself, and track his lifelong experiments in ways of looking and depicting.
With over 300 illustrations, accompanied by quotes from the artist himself that illuminate the passionate thinking behind the work, Hockney's Pictures is destined to become a classic.
Hockney's story is one of passion: passion for seeing, passion for telling, passion for images. But to these should be added the passion for life - his art is a celebration of what it is to be alive. All of his pictures - sometimes tender, as when he draws close friends and family; sometimes playful, as in his paintings of lazy, carefree days at the pool; sometimes awe-inspiring, as with his monumental images of the Grand Canyon - convey what it means to be in the world and to love it. This constant exploration of how to communicate such feelings through his work emerges with particular clarity in this stunning, lively volume, which charts almost fifty years of extraordinary creativity.
