About this product
Product Information
To be published to coincide with the major Hockney retrospective at the Royal Academy planned for 2011 (the first time the entire gallery space will have been devoted to a living artist), Sykes biography will be the final say on one of Britain s best loved, colourful and controversial artists whose career has spanned and epitomised the art movements of the last five decades and whose work has never been out of the popular eye. Hockney will be providing interviews, contacts to family and friends and his own notebooks and paintings which will be reproduced in 32 pages of colour. Hockney s story is one of precocious achievement at Bradford Art College, the Swinging 60s in London where he befriended many of the iconic cultural figures of the generation, to California and the cool of the swimming pool series of paintings, through the acclaimed set designs for countless operas around the world and major retrospective exhibitions. In all this time Hockney has been a passionate and outspoken advocate of individual human rights and this volume will deliver an honest and revelatory account of the man who many believe to be Britain s greatest living artist.Product Identifiers

Our greatest living artist.
David Hockney is not only our greatest living artist but a National Treasure. He comes off the page as someone you would love to know. Great volume, second volume also brilliant. An absolute must for boning up on the UK art scene (together with Tracey's Columns in The Independent, Hirst's Diaries and everything by Grayson)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
