DAVID HOCKNEY : Normandy Portraits
, National Portrait Gallery (Thames), 2023 Hardcover, 48 pages, ENG., edition, 275 x 220 mm, full page illustrated coloured portaits. ISBN 9781855145870.
David Hockney: Normandy Portraits accompanies a major exhibition on David Hockney at the National Portrait Gallery, London. It reveals new portraits painted in Hockney's Normandy Studio between 2020 and 2022. David Hockney: Normandy Portraits illustrates around 40 acrylic on canvas works painted by Hockney at his Normandy studio - depicting his friends and visitors, as well as the artist himself. This image-led book product will showcase a series of some previously unseen portraits, through 48 pages, uninterrupted by text, to allow readers to engage directly with the artworks. These works highlight the ongoing importance of portraiture within the artist's practice and demonstrate his sentiment that 'drawings and paintings . are a lot better than photographs to give you a sense of the person'. Hockney returned to painting after an intensive period spent depicting the Normandy landscape using an iPad. The portraits were painted quickly and directly onto the canvas without under drawing. As Hockney has said 'to do a portrait slowly is a bit of a contradiction'.
Hockney's Pictures.
, Thames & Hudson, 2017 softcover 368 pages, Illustrated. English. ISBN 9780500286715.
The story of David Hockney, one of the most widely acclaimed of all living artists, is one of passion: passion for seeing, passion for telling, passion for images. But to these should be added passion for life. Hockney's art is a celebration of what it is to be alive. All his pictures - sometimes tender, as when he draws close friends and family; sometimes playful, as in his paintings of lazy, carefree days at the pool; sometimes awe-inspirin, as with his monumental images of the Grand Canyon - convey what it means to be in the world, to see it, to move in it, to love it. This constant exploration of how to communicate such feelings through art emerges with particular clarity in this stunning, lively volume, which charts almost fifty years of extraordinary creativity. Hockney's Pictures is the first definitive 'retrospective' to show the evolution and diversity of Hockney's prolific paintings, drawings, watercolours, prints and photography. The works, including many that are new and never published, have been selected and organized by David Hockney himself, and track his lifelong experiments in ways of looking and depicting.
David Hockney : My Window
, Taschen, 2022 Hardcover, 248 pages, ENG, 385 x 300 mm, NEW, dustjacket, XL-edition, with illustrations in color, . ISBN 9783836593922.
David Hockney?s artist?s book in an unlimited XL-edition When David Hockney discovered the iPhone as an artistic medium, it opened up entirely new possibilities for his art. He made his first digital drawings in spring 2009, describing the morning landscape in broad lines and dazzling colors directly on a display that offered subtle hues as unmixed expressions of pure light. Then in 2010, Hockney started working with an iPad, and the larger screen expanded his artistic repertoire and enabled an even more complex interplay of color, light, and line. Each image in this book captures a fleeting moment seen through a window in Hockney?s Yorkshire home: from vibrant sunrise and lilac morning sky to peaceful night-time impressions or the sudden arrival of spring. Fascinating details reveal drops on window panes, distant lights in the night, reflections on vases or an abundance of varied window-sill vegetation. In 120 drawings made between 2009 and 2012, selected and arranged by the artist himself, we experience the passage of time through the eyes of David Hockney.

David Hockney & Martin Gayford - A History of Pictures : From the Cave to the Computer Screen
, Abrams, 2020 Paperback, 370 pages, ENG. edition, 240 x 165 mm, NEW, richly illustrated in color / b/w. ISBN 9781419750281.
A compact edition of Hockney and Gayford?s brilliantly original book, with updated material and brand-new pieces of art Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing, and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made across the millennia. Juxtaposing a rich variety of images?a still from a Disney cartoon with a Japanese woodblock print by Hiroshige, a scene from an Eisenstein film with a Velazquez paint ing?the authors cross the normal boundaries between high culture and popular entertainment, and argue that film, photography, paint ing, and drawing are deeply interconnected. Featuring a revised final chapter with some of Hockney?s latest works, this new, compact edition of A History of Pictures remains a significant contribution to the discussion of how artists represent reality. David Hockney is one of the world?s most popular painters and the author of the bestselling Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters (2001). Martin Gayford is an art critic and the author of many books, including Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud (2013) and Rendez-vous with Art, with Philippe de Montebello (2014).
