Product Description
内容説明
David Hockney has, in some ways been the victim of his own popularity. Frequently interpreted as the lightweight expression of a colourful personality, his work is characterized by an underlying seriousness of purpose. Each of the volumes's six chapters, broadly chronological in sequence is introduced by an essay that examines in depth certain aspects of Hockney's artistic practice. The complexity of his imagery is further elucidated in the commentaries accompanying each of the colour plates. These encompass the period from 1960 to 1993, from work produced during the artist's student days at the Royal College of Art in London to his most recent paintings, enriched through his experience of designing for the stage and by his experiments with photo-collage and fax art.
Book Description
One of the most widely acclaimed of all living artists, David Hockney has, in some ways, been the victim of his own popularity. Frequently interpreted as the lightweight expression of a colorful personality, his work is characterized by an underlying seriousness of purpose. This emerges with particular clarity from the fresh appraisal of the artist's oeuvre offered in this book, now available in paperback for the first time.
Each of the volume's six chapters, broadly chronological in sequence, is introduced by an essay that examines in depth certain aspects of Hockney's artistic practice. The complexity of his seemingly straightforward imagery is further elucidated in the commentaries accompanying each of the sixty-three carefully selected color plates. These encompass the period from 1960-1993, from work produced during the artist's student days at the Royal College of Art in London to his most recent paintings, enriched through his experiences of designing for the stage and by his experiments with photo-collage and fax art. Several lesser known and rarely reproduced paintings are included in this volume in full color together with numerous black-and-white illustrations of related works. Together these provide important reference material. An illustrated chronology and a selected bibliography conclude this lucid, authoritative account of Hockney's development.
With access to the artist's personal archives, the authors dispel certain myths about Hockney's work and open up new lines of enquiry. Intended for the general reader, this book will also be of interest to all students of modern painting and to admirers of one of its most appealing exponents.
