About the book >.>.> In this extraordinary book perhaps the most critically acclaimed and universally popular artist of our time describes in his own words his life and work over the past twenty years. During that period David Hockney has devoted himself to forging a new way of seeing through an intense and impassioned exploration of a variety of forms. He has produced work in almost every medium – painting drawing stage design photography and printmaking – and has stretched the boundaries of all of them. He has undertaken a singular and ambitious experiment with ways of seeing and ways of representing sight: ranging from his paintings with their challenges to perspective and brilliant colours to his vivid multi-dimensional photo- tollages and his fax art computer printings and coloured laser prints. Constantly questioning seeking taking nothing for granted Hockney has in his own way transformed our understanding of how we perceive the world and how art can alter our vision. Interweaving detailed accounts of personal expe- rience and artistic endeavour Hockney has produced here one of the most revealing autobiographies ever of the modern artist. His creativity which fuses technology with playfulness and unites inventiveness with a deeply felt philosophy is demonstrated in more than 300 full-colour images most published for the first time (MP)
