Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
No living artist is better known than David Hockney. His paintings of well-heeled people (his friends and collectors) in large, sparely furnished rooms filled with pastel light and of swimming pools outside those rooms are icons of Southern California that have influenced everything from display advertising to MTV. He is the best stage designer for opera in ages, and his male nudes are admired by more than just his fellow gay men. This survey's 165 drawings, dating from Hockney's British art school days to 1994, collectively show one reason for his long-lived success: he samples from throughout the history of art, stylistically (recently, from synthetic cubism) and technically (e.g., using van Gogh's tool, the reed pen, to draw as he did); this borrowing makes Hockney's work rich in cultural suggestion yet never overpowers his own artistic personality. The essays by Luckhardt and Melia help with appreciating Hockney's uses of older art but don't bog down in technical talk. A most rewarding art book, though some early colorplates are inexplicably out of numerical order. Ray Olson
Kurzbeschreibung
Published to coincide with the first major retrospective of David Hockney's drawings in 15 years, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, this volume brings together for the first time an exciting selection of the works on paper and in sketchbooks of perhaps the world's most widely celebrated contemporary artist. A chronology and select bibliography accompany the 145 color and 70 black-and-white illustrations.

A beautiful book
6. April 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Hockney is a master draftsman, as his work here proves: his drawings using colored pencil are particularly impressive. Reproductions are good (notice the yellow under-drawing on the cover) and the retrospective covers his work from 1954 (when he was 17) up until around 1994.
Anyone involved in the practice of drawing will be inspired by both his prodigious output and his skill. On opening this book, his originality and humor become apparent. There is a more provocative range of subject matter contained here than I would have expected, but nothing outside the normal range of human behavior.
I only wish I could have attended this exhibition and seen these works in person.
