In this remarkable book, a record of a decade of private conversations with art critic Martin Gayford, David Hockney reveals via reflection, anecdote, passion and humour the fruits of his lifelong meditations on the problems and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional world on a flat surface. These conversations are punctuated by wise and witty observations from both parties on numerous other artists, and enlivened by shrewd insights into the contrasting social and physical landscapes of California, where Hockney spent so many years, and Yorkshire, the birthplace to which he has returned. Some of the diverse people he has encountered along the way from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Billy Wilder make entertaining entries into the dialogue.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Based on a series of conversations between Artist David Hockney and the art critic Martin Gayford, this book distills the essence of the artistâs lifelong meditations on the problems and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional world on a flat surface. How does drawing make one âsee things clearer and clearer and clearer stillâ? What significance do differing media, from a Lascaux cave wall to an iPad, have but for the images we see? What is the relationship between the images we make and the reality around us? These conversations are punctuated by wise and witty observations by both artist and interviewer on many other artists â" Vermeer, Tiepolo, Caravaggio, Van Gogh, and Monet among them â" and enlivened by shrewd insights into the contrasting social and physical landscapes of California, where Hockney spent so many years, and East Yorkshire, his birthplace, to which he has now returned. 100+ illustrations in color and b&w. 248p.
