Description

Following his sweeping exploration of landscape in 2012 on the Royal Academy of Arts, London, published in the phe­nomenally successful David Hockney: A Bigger Picture, this new volume looks exclusively at a new series of portraits that David Hockney, one of the crucial famous artists on the planet, has been painting recently. In 2012, Hockney returned to California, where he had lived and worked for long periods. There followed a series of painted portraits, the subjects of which ranged from studio assistants and place of work workforce to circle of relatives, friends, and long-term acquaintances. Also included are quite a lot of fellow artists, curators, and gallerists, including John Baldessari and Larry Gagosian. Reproduced in stunning colorplates the paintings are shown alongside revealing images of the works in more than a few stages of development, which provide an exciting insight into Hockney’s painterly process. The book is introduced with two necessary new texts. This vivid series of portraits, executed in bold acrylics, observant and lively, marks Hockney’s vibrant return to Technicolor form.
