Description
David Hockney's work is highly acclaimed for its exuberance and originality. This book offers a unique insight into his artistic vision, as well as his thoughts on the creative process. The new edition includes revised material and five additional chapters, covering Hockney's work since 2011. The book also explores his experiences after a stroke, which left him unable to speak for a period, and the vandalism of his Totem tree-trunk. Despite these challenges, Hockney continued to create, and this book provides a fascinating glimpse into his artistic world. Through conversations with Martin Gayford, the artist shares his observations on other artists and offers insights into the contrasting landscapes of Yorkshire and California.
