ISBN: 9783791337180.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis consideration of Hockneys work from 1960 to the early nineties dispels myths and opens up new lines of inquiry concerning his contributions to post-modern art. Filled with beautiful colour plates of his paintings, the book draws on extensive research and the artists personal archives. In a broad chronological format, the book reveals the major phases in Hockneys oeuvre: his early years as a student at the Royal College of Art in London and his ironic experimentation with different styles of painting; his images of life in southern California; his highly personal portraits and their studies in perspective; his reinterpretations of modernist paintings; and his forays into photo-collage. The authors incisive commentary reveals how Hockneys paintings question, parody and undermine accepted ideas about modern art, while forcing us to reconsider our assumptions about originality and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986693124149,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791337181","price":93.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783791337180_76c5b17e-1545-46f2-9871-b54f10c4a297.jpg?v=1778733679","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/david-hockney-9783791337180","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
