David Hockney

"David Hockney has commanded greater popular acclaim internationally than any other British artist this century. Marco Livingstone explores here the relationship between Hockney's art and his life, and charts the shifts in Hockney's work from the early 1960s to his renewed absorption with inventions and artifice since the mid-1970s, his brilliant photographic collages and his theatrical designs for the stage." -back cover.
