DAVID HOCKNEY
Marco Livingstone

REVISED EDITION

"An intelligent, conscientious, sensitive and understanding presentation of, and commentary on, Hockney's work."

Arts Review

David Hockney has commanded greater popular acclaim internationally than any other British artist this century. Marco Livingstone explores the relationship between Hockney's art and his life, and charts the shift in Hockney's work from the early 1960s to his renewed absorption with inventions and artifice since the mid-1970s, his brilliant photographic collages and his theatrical designs for the stage.

"A delight to read . . . the first major study of the artist's career."     —Apollo

"Contains much new information necessary for a fresh appraisal of Hockney's achievements: it gives a clear and methodical account of the artist's development . . . it illustrates each point with good reproductions; and it details, for the first time, the influence of the camera on Hockney's work."
