Description

David Hockney is one of the most famous living British artists, with a career spanning over six decades. This biography explores his life and work, from his early days as a portrait painter in Swinging London to his later experiments with photography and mosaics.

Hockney's artistic journey has been marked by significant periods of change and innovation, including his move to Los Angeles in the 1970s, where he captured the essence of West Coast living through his figurative paintings. The book also delves into his return to Yorkshire in the early millennium and his subsequent period of contemplative portraiture.

Through a detailed examination of Hockney's life and work, this biography provides a comprehensive understanding of one of the most influential artists of our time.
