Pop artist, painter of modern life, landscape painter, master of
color, explorer of image and perception-for six decades, David
Hockney has been known as an artist who always finds new ways of
exploring the world and its representational possibilities. He has
consistently created unforgettable images: works with graphic lines
and integrated text in the Swinging Sixties in London; the famous
swimming pool series as a representation of the 1970s California
lifestyle; closely observed portraits and brightly colored,
oversized landscapes after his eventual return to his native
Yorkshire. In addition to drawings in which he transfers what he
sees directly onto paper, there are multiperspective Polaroid
collages that open up the space into a myriad of detailed views,
and iPad drawings in which he captures light using a most modern
medium-testaments to Hockney's enduring delight in experimentation.
This special edition has been newly assembled from the two volumes
of the David Hockney: A Bigger Book monograph to celebrate
TASCHEN's 40th anniversary. Hockney's life and work is presented
year by year as a dialogue between his works and voices from the
time period, alongside reviews and reflections by the artist in a
chronological text, supplemented by portrait photographs and
exhibition views. Together they open up new perspectives, page
after page, revealing how Hockney undertakes his artistic research,
how his painting develops, and where he finds inspiration for his
multifaceted work. About the series TASCHEN is 40! Since we started
our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become
synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the
world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia
at an unbeatable price. Today we celebrate 40 years of incredible
books by staying true to our company credo. The 40 series presents
new editions of some of the stars of our program-now more compact,
friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to
impeccable production.
