This summer 2016 publication brings together the recent body of
work by David Hockney, perhaps the most popular and versatile
British artist of the last century. Following his sweeping
exploration of landscape in the Royal Academy's galleries in 2012,
this focused display will look exclusively at the portraits he has
been painting in the last few years - the subjects of which are
friends, family and art-world luminaries. After the sad events that
touched his life in 2012, Hockney had stopped painting altogether.
His move from Yorkshire to California coincided with his decision
to revisit acrylic paints and bold colours. Vibrant, observant and
full of life, these portraits mark a return to vivid, Technicolor
form. Incisive text from Tim Barringer places these works within
Hockney's development as a portrait painter, while curator Edith
Devaney interviews the artist about the series, which he describes
as 'twenty-hour exposures', in reference to the time each portrait
takes to paint. The book will show the stages of each painting,
from first to last mark, to give the reader a unique insight into
Hockney's working method.
