"On Photography" is a photo book by David Hockney, one of the leading postwar British painters. Hockney's large-scale solo exhibition in Japan, which will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo from summer to autumn 2023, is still fresh in our memory. Hockney is known for his colorful landscapes that are symbolic of pop art, and in recent years for his digital image works using Macs and iPads, but in the 1980s he was also famous as a "photographer". His photo collages and Polaroid collages, created under the cubist idea that a person's "vision" and "time" can be more accurately expressed by combining multiple photographs rather than a single photograph, created new photographic images that were different from those of traditional photographers. This book is a meaningful book that explores the history and methods of this new art form through nearly 100 paintings, photographs, drawings, etc.
