This special TASCHEN edition offers a chronological narrative enriched with portraits, exhibition photos, and critical reflections, providing an immersive experience into Hockney’s evolving style and groundbreaking techniques. Highly rated and top-ranked in art history categories, it’s a must-have for collectors and professionals seeking an authoritative resource on Hockney’s legacy. ## Description 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.

Review: Excellent book - Beautifully presented book. Content was both interesting & informative. Review: Metamorphosis of Hockney - An illustrated overview of the vast body of work by one of the most popular artists of the modern era – 5 Stars With over five hundred pages, and illustrations galore, this book offers an incredibly inexpensive way to get a feel for Hockney’s extensive body of work. After a brief introduction, we follow Hockney’s career in chronological order from his mid-teens through to 2016 and the approach of his eightieth birthday. What I felt this book does really well is not only to show how productive Hockney is as an artist, but also to put the sheer size of some of his pieces of art in context. It’s all very well to be given the measurements of a painting, or print (and this book certainly includes those details, and more), but the in-gallery/exhibition photos really help to put this into perspective, whilst those taken in various studios also give a feel for how the artist works. Along-side this, the chronological presentation shows not only how Hockney has grown as an artist, but also when those changes occurred and an insight into what inspired and informed them. Overall: A gorgeous book to browse through - it always makes me smile. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,628 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1 in 20th & 21st Century Art History 2 in Individual Artist Books 8 in Painting (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 547 Reviews | ## Images ![David Hockney: A Chronology. 45th Ed.
