David Hockney's photo book "Photographs". David Hockney, a British painter and contemporary artist who made a brilliant debut as a flag-bearer of British pop art along with Allen Jones and Kitai, continues to be active at the forefront of the art scene to this day. Hockney has been taking photos of friends and travel records since the 1960s, and by the early 1980s, he had already taken over 30,000 photos, but he was indifferent to photography itself. However, when the Centre Pompidou in Paris began to take an interest in these photos, Hockney hardly picked up a paintbrush from 1981 to the end of 1983 and devoted himself to photographic production. This book is a compilation of Hockney's camera records taken from the 1960s to the early 1980s, and it explores the source of his ideas as an artist, and is also a collection of early works from Hockney's "cameraworks", which challenged the limits of photographic constraints such as "time" and "vision", and continued with Polaroid collages and photo collages.
