In this fascinating and entertaining second volume, Christopher
Sykes explores the life and work of Britain's most popular living
artist. David Hockney's career has spanned and epitomised the art
movements of the past five decades. Volume 1 covered his early
life: his precocious achievement at Bradford Art College and the
Swinging 60s in London, where he befriended many of the iconic
cultural figures of the generation. Picking up Hockney's story in
1975, this volume finds him flitting between Notting Hill and
California, where he took inspiration for the swimming pool series
of paintings; creating the acclaimed set designs for operas around
the world; and embracing emerging technologies - the camera and fax
machine in the 1970s and 80s, and most recently the iPad. Hockney's
boundless energy extends to his personal life too, and this volume
illuminates the glamorous circles he moved in, as well as his
sometimes turbulent relationships. With unprecedented access to
Hockney's paintings, notebooks, diaries and the man himself, this
second volume continues the lively and revelatory account of an
acclaimed artist and an extraordinary man.
