David Hockney is a collection of works by British contemporary artist David Hockney (1937–). With his vibrant colors and bold compositions, Hockney revolutionized painting in the late 20th century, carving out a unique world across a diverse range of disciplines, from his Los Angeles-based pool series to intimate portraits, stage designs, and photo collages. This book, compiled in 1981 by art critic Marco Livingston, is an early and representative critical biography of Hockney, covering his major works from his student days to his time in London and Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s, complete with over 180 illustrations. From his poolside paintings capturing the intense light of the American West Coast, to his intimate portraits of familiar figures, and even his new visual experiments with photography, this book offers a multifaceted look at Hockney's innovative use of color and space. This book clearly traces his artistic endeavors and transformations, making it an essential resource for understanding British art since Pop Art.
