Hockney, David

An illustrated catalogue of an exhibition derived from a poster collection.

Hockney, who has produced work in almost every media, discusses his humanistic artistic vision and its roots in his personal experiences.

David Hockney makes a visual presentation of his theory that many Western artists of the past, dating from the early fifteenth century, used mirrors and lenses to create living projections which were then used to produce drawings and paintings. Includes a collection of extracts from documents used in Hockney's research, as well as related notes, essays, and letters.
