Synopsis

En dehors de sa célébrité en tant que peintre, David Hockney est également reconnu pour la grande qualité de ses dessins.

Il présente les dessins du grand maître anglais des années 50 à aujourd'hui et se concentre sur des autoportraits ainsi que sur quelques-uns des modèles phares de l'artiste : sa muse Celia Birtwell, sa mère Laura Hockney et des amis, notamment le commissaire d'exposition Gregory Evans et le graveur Maurice Payne.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

David Hockney is recognised as one of the master draughtsmen of our times and a champion of the medium. This book will feature Hockney’s work from the 1950s to now and focus on his depictions of himself and a smaller group of sitters close to him: his muse, Celia Birtwell; his mother, Laura Hockney; and his friends, the curator, Gregory Evans, and master printer, Maurice Payne.

This book will examine not only how drawing is fundamental to Hockney’s distinctive way of observing the world around him, but also how it has been a testing ground for ideas and modes of expression later played out in his paintings.

From Old Masters to modern masters, from Holbein to Picasso, Hockney’s portrait drawings reveal his admiration for his artistic predecessors and his continuous stylistic experimentation throughout his career.

Alongside an in-depth essay from the curator, this book will feature an exclusive interview between author and curator, Sarah Howgate, and artist, David Hockney. In addition, an ‘In Focus’ essay by British Museum curator Isabel Seligman, will explore the relationship between Hockney, Ingres and Picasso drawings.
