This book, which accompanies the first major exhibition devoted to
David Hockney's drawings inover 20 years,will explore Hockney as a
draughtsman from the 1950s to now, with a focus on himself, his
family and friends. From Ingres to the iPad -this book demonstrates
the artist's ingenuity in portrait drawing with reference to both
tradition and technology. David Hockney is recognised as one of the
master draughtsmen of our times and a champion of the medium. This
book will feature Hockney's work from the 1950s to now and focus on
his depictions of himself and a smaller group of sitters close to
him: his muse, Celia Birtwell; his mother, Laura Hockney; and his
friends, the curator, Gregory Evans, and master printer, Maurice
Payne. This book will examine not only how drawing is fundamental
to Hockney's distinctive way of observing the world around him, but
also how it has been a testing ground for ideas and modes of
expression later played out in his paintings. From Old Masters to
modern masters, from Holbein to Picasso, Hockney's portrait
drawings reveal his admiration for his artistic predecessors and
his continuous stylistic experimentation throughout his career.
Alongside an in-depth essay from the curator, this book will
feature an exclusive interview between author and curator, Sarah
Howgate, and artist, David Hockney. In addition, an 'In Focus'
essay by British Museum curator Isabel Seligman, will explore the
relationship between Hockney, Ingres and Picasso drawings.
