David Hockney
Catalogue of the exhibition 'David Hockney' in the Tate Gallery in London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2017.
A full career retrospective of one of the greatest and most popular living artists, lavishly illustrated with works from across the artist's six-decade career. David Hockney has been delighting and challenging audiences for almost sixty years. Working in an extraordinarily wide range of media with equal measures of wit and intelligence, his art has examined, probed and questioned how the perceived world of movement, space and time can be captured in two dimensions. This lavishly illustrated publication reasserts Hockney as a serious thinker and a highly innovative artist constantly challenging the conventions of artistic expression, without losing the characteristic verve, humour and colour of the work. Showcasing over 200 works (including painting, drawings, photographs, watercolours, iPad drawings, and his most recent multi-screen works) from across the six decades of his remarkable career, the book will delight existing fans of the artist, while giving new audiences the fullest possible introduction to his life and work.

A terrific book illustrating Hockney's growth as an artist, his changing techniques and adaption to, for example, IPAD drawing and photography, and his various themes. The book contains many luscious illustrations of his work, some I had never seen before. especially early drawings.
