David Hockney. A Chronology. (40th Edition)
Explore six decades of the enduring artistic journey of David Hockney, the celebrated pop artist, painter of modern life, and master of color. This volume chronicles his evolution, presenting his life and work year by year through a compelling dialogue between his creations and the voices of the time, supplemented by reviews, reflections from the artist, portrait photographs, and exhibition views.
This special illustrated edition was newly assembled from the two volumes of the David Hockney: A Bigger Book monograph to celebrate TASCHEN’s anniversary. It reveals Hockney’s artistic research, the development of his painting style, and the sources of inspiration behind his multifaceted work, from his early graphic lines in Swinging Sixties London to his famous California swimming pool series, and his later oversized landscapes of native Yorkshire.
