I recall seeing his paintings, which at the time were almost considered graffiti, around Manhattan in the early 1980's, and, being charmed by his trademark faceless little expressions of mass humanity. He became the artist most identifiable with the 1980's. But, he was much more than that. He was always very aware of his role as an ...             Hockney on Photography: Conversations with Paul Joyce1 review Paul Joyce Harmony, 1988 this is a must have hockney book I have read all of Hockney's interview books that I know of. Also as an avid and harsh critic of books pertaining to artists I have to say that this one is a book that will not let you down. It is simple in that Hockney discusses his photographic work over a period of four or five years and several interviews. What is majestic about this book is that it quickly envelopes the entire spectrum of ...             Cameraworks1 review David Hockney Knopf, 1984 Great works by David Hockney This heavy huge comprehensive book collects David Hockney's 49 Polaroid collages and 117 photocollages. Good reproduction quality. Highly recommended.             Brandt - The Photography of Bill Brandt5 reviews Bill Jay, Nigel Warburton Thames & Hudson Ltd, 1999 Absolutely first rate in form and content I've been a fan of Bill Brandt for decades, have nearly all the books on Brandt, and am a significant collector of his photographs. I am pleased to say that this book has helped me to see Brandt's work with new eyes, yet again. The images are beautifully and faithfully displayed, the accompanying text helpful, insightful. For too long, purchasing major books on Brandt was an exercise in ...             David Hockney's Dog Days7 reviews David Hockney Thames & Hudson Ltd, 1998 Super doxie poses! I thought it was awesome! A lot of the drawings looked just like my tree red smooths. I was really impressed with how he sees his dachshunds and all of our dachshunds in art. If your not a person who lives and breathes doxies, you may not like it.             That's the Way I See It6 reviews David Hockney Chronicle Books, 1996 A Real Beauty ! I have been a fan of David Hockney's for many many years and was delighted to find this book. He writes in an understated, easy way about his art and about modern art in general. Two of the sections were particularly interesting: "Art versus the Art World" and "The Power of Art". In the book, Hockney explained how places and his personal experiences have influenced his art over the years. He ...             David Hockney: Paintings (Art & Design)3 reviews Paul Melia, Ulrich Luckhardt, ...

Wallace Stevens wrote THE MAN WITH THE BLUE GUITAR in 1936 as a response to the famous painting by Pablo Picasso called 'The Old Guitarist 1903'. David Hockney discovered the poem and readdressed the Picasso in 1976 and the result of his encounter resulted in ...             Vision: 50 Years of British Creativity, A Celebration of Art, Architecture and Design1 review Michael Craig-Martin, Christopher Frayling, ...

I can not recomend it highly enough.             The California Pop-Up Book5 reviews Universe Publishing, 2001 The Real California - in Three Dimensions The book looks like it might just be a decorative coffee table item, but the content belies that impression. The pop-ups are fun and attractive, but the real story is in the choice of objects and the writing. The selections speak to the myth of California that was consciously created by early explorers, developers, and movie moguls but became its own reality as people migrated to the state ready ...             Secret Knowledge (New and Expanded Edition): Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters65 reviews David Hockney Studio, 2006 Very interesting Despite some negative reviews here, I thought this was a good book, and I find Hockney's theory quite credible, due to a study I did some time ago. Twenty years ago, I wrote what was probably the most detailed analysis of perspective and visual distortions in van Gogh's famous painting, Bedroom at Arles. The research showed that the visual system can create several spatial distortions in a ...             The Male Nude14 reviews Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 1998 Another Fine Leddick Volume Nobody does a better job of collecting and publishing nude photographs of men than David Leddick. He adds here another fine volume to his several books on the subject. Leddick begins with photographers in the Nineteenth Century and continues to the present in chronological order. All the photographers you expect are here as well as some of the photographs we have seen many times before. (I'm ...             David Hockney Portraits2 reviews Sarah Howgate, Barbara Stern Shapiro Yale University Press, 2006 A Very Personal and Tender Survey of the Works of David Hockney David Hockney is an artist whose works are familiar to everyone, whether from exposure to his many museum shows, his paintings and drawings included in every major survey of contemporary art, to his magical sets for operas such as The Magic Flute, Die Frau Ohne Schatten, The Rake's Progress, Tristan und Isolde, etc. This current book DAVID HOCKNEY PORTRAITS is, for this reader, the most ...             Hockney's Pictures: The Definitive Retrospective3 reviews Gregory Evans Bulfinch, 2004 David Hockney as Curator "The Definitive Retrospective" sounds a bit unctuous and presumptuous for a book of selected paintings from an artist's enormous output, but when the artist himself makes the title, we pay attention. This is a splendid picture book with minimal writing and conversation put together by Hockney and Gregory Evans, a book that surveys almost every aspect of this prodigious artist's career. To a ...             Draw: How to Master the Art2 reviews Jeffery Camp DK ADULT, 1994 Start drawing now! This is a most valuable book in the how to master the art world. It has many fun excercises to work on and many illustrations. If you are a beginner in art, like I am, I beleive this will be the best book on the subject. To me the most fun are the small in size easy illustrated tips throughout the book, that I can not help but to pick up a pencil and try them right away!             David Hockney (Modern Masters Series, Vol. 17)2 reviews Peter Clothier Abbeville Press, 1995 Adequate summary The book itself is a brief, well-illstrated summary of Hockney's work, from school in the 1950s up to the book's time, in the mid-nineties. Color reproductions are good, but lots of the paintings are shown in B&W, which I consider a loss. The text is workmanlike, but I have to admit I skipped most of it. The problem is, I just don't much care for Hockney's work, and this book didn't change ...             David Hockney: And His Friends (Outlines)3 reviews Peter Adam Absolute Press, 1997 Lyrical and Thoughtful A beautiful melody of a book, Bessie Smith by Jackie Kay evokes the life of the great blueswoman through a provocative interweaving of fact, poetry, blues lyrics, and imaginings. It is also about the awakening of a young girl's (the author's) sense of herself as female and black. If you prefer dry facts only, or are doing serious research, look to another biography. If there's a bit of repetition ...             The Dulcimer Boy3 reviews Tor Seidler Jonathan Cape, 1981 A masterfully written tale with powerful imagery. In an eerie world where people have cold and hard hearts, twin baby boys are left at the doorstep of their uncle's house.

I find it one of the most unique books on art I have read and continue to find it a valuable resource as a visual reference for Hockney's work, in particular his important photographic work and how photography relates to his painting. The book is constructed around a set of informal interviews by the friend and author, and as such is disarmingly ...              search for books architecture, british, california, cameraworks, celebration, conversations, creativity, definitive, dulcimer, edition, expanded, friends, guitar, haring, hockney, journals, knowledge, master, masters, outlines, paintings, photography, pictures, pop-up, portraits, rediscovering, retrospective, secret, series, techniques books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
