Description
David Hockney Drawing from Life brings together over 60 years of intimate portraiture by one of Britain's most celebrated contemporary artists. This publication features Hockney's drawings of himself and a small group of sitters, including his muse Celia Birtwell, his mother Laura Hockney, and friends Gregory Evans and Maurice Payne. Through these portraits, Hockney explores new stylistic experiments and pays homage to his artistic predecessors, from Holbein to Picasso. The book showcases 150 beautifully reproduced works from public and private collections worldwide, tracing the trajectory of Hockney's drawing practice as he revisits these five figures throughout his career. The publication includes a series of new portraits, colored pencil drawings created in Paris in the early 1970s, composite Polaroid portraits from the 1980s, and a selection of drawings from an intense period of self-scrutiny during the 1980s.
