introduced me to art. lame, but true. sat in the library and watched documentaries on him. primarily i liked him because i fancied him but then it turned out he was gay...

Not very inspired or inspiring but thorough. I guess what you would expect from a world of art book. I read the 1988 edition. This one is updated but I liked the picture.

A fascinating insight into the ups and downs and ins and outs of Hockney's thought processes and their effect on his art. I look forward to reading it again and taking notes.

Beautiful book, though I wish they had more of his iPad drawings.

read this for a class. pretty informative, although some of the text was unnecessarily vague and difficult to read
