From the brand: Pop artist, painter of modern life, landscape painter, master of color, explorer of image and perception—for six decades, David Hockney has been known as an artist who
always finds new ways of exploring the world and its representational possibilities
. He has consistently created unforgettable images: works with graphic lines and integrated text in the
Swinging Sixties in London
; the famous
swimming pool series
as a representation of the 1970s California lifestyle; closely observed portraits and brightly colored, oversized landscapes after his eventual return to his native Yorkshire. In addition to
drawings
in which he transfers what he sees directly onto paper, there are
multiperspective Polaroid collages
that open up the space into a myriad of detailed views, and
iPad drawings
in which he captures light using a most modern medium—testaments to Hockney’s enduring delight in experimentation.
This
special edition
has been newly assembled from the two volumes of the
David Hockney: A Bigger Book
monograph to celebrate TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary.
Hockney’s life and work is presented year by year
as a dialogue between his works and voices from the time period, alongside reviews and reflections by the artist in a chronological text, supplemented by
portrait photographs and exhibition views
. Together they open up new perspectives, page after page, revealing how Hockney undertakes his artistic research, how his painting develops, and where he finds inspiration for his multifaceted work.
