I've always been a looker . . . that's what artists do.
This anthology of quotations by the legendary artist David Hockney follows the successful format of The World According to series. Ranging across drawing, photography, nature, creativity, the internet, and more, The World According to David Hockney offers an engaging overview of the artist's inimitable spirit, personality, and opinions.
From everyday observations?The eye is always moving; if it isn't moving you are dead?to artistic insights such as painted color always will be better than printed color, because it is the pigment itself, and reflections on Caravaggio, Paul Cézanne, and Walt Disney, David Hockney always had a knack for capturing profound truths in pithy statements.
Born in Bradford in 1937, Hockney studied in London before moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s, where he painted his iconic pool series. Over the decades that followed, he worked across painting, photography, photocollage, video, and digital media, becoming one of the most influential British artists of his generation.
Presented as a beautifully designed volume illustrated with works from throughout his career, this is the perfect gift for art lovers everywhere.
