David Hockneyas controversial book, now revised in paperback with
thirty-two new pages of evidence
Join one of the most influential artists of our time as he
investigates the painting techniques of the Old Masters. Hockneyas
extensive research led him to conclude that artists such as
Caravaggio, VelAzquez, da Vinci, and other hyperrealists actually
used optics and lenses to create their masterpieces.
In this passionate yet pithy book, Hockney takes readers on a
journey of discovery as he builds a case that mirrors and lenses
were used by the great masters to create their highly detailed and
realistic paintings and drawings. Hundreds of the best-known and
best-loved paintings are reproduced alongside his straightforward
analysis. Hockney also includes his own photographs and drawings to
illustrate techniques used to capture such accurate likenesses.
Extracts from historical and modern documents and correspondence
with experts from around the world further illuminate this
thought-provoking book that will forever change how the world looks
at art.
"Secret Knowledge" will open your eyes to how we perceive the
world and how we choose to represent it.
