David Hockney is possibly the world's most popular living painter,
but he is also something else: an incisive and original thinker on
art. Here are the fruits of his lifelong meditations on the
problems and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional world on
a flat surface. How does drawing make one `see things clearer, and
clearer, and clearer still', as Hockney suggests? What significance
do different media - from a Lascaux cave wall to an iPad - have for
the way we see? What is the relationship between the images we make
and the reality around us? How have changes in technology affected
the way artists depict the world? The conversations are punctuated
by wise and witty observations from both parties on numerous other
artists - Van Gogh or Vermeer, Caravaggio, Monet, Picasso - and
enlivened by shrewd insights into the contrasting social and
physical landscapes of California, where Hockney lives, and
Yorkshire, his birthplace. Some of the people he has encountered
along the way - from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Billy Wilder - make
entertaining appearances in the dialogue.
