Vision: 50 Years of British Creativity

David Hockney; Michael Craig-Martin; Melvyn Bragg; Martin Harrison; David Sylvester; Christopher Frayling; Nicholas Serota

The second half of the twentieth century has seen British artists, architects, and designers assuming a central role on the world stage. Starting in the years of reconstruction after the war, the young began to challenge accepted artistic values, looking at popular culture for their inspiration; the iconoclasm of the Pop movement has continued to be one of the most vital ingredients of the British art scene. In the year-by-year record that this book provides, the work of newcomers making their first impact is seen alongside that of outstanding artists in their maturity, with connections and contradictions across the entire visual scene -- from architecture, interior design, furniture, and the decorative arts to painting, sculpture, and graphic art. Pictures and text explore the many factors that contributed to the special character of British art. The unique system of artists teaching in art schools, the worlds of fashion and pop music, political and social developments: the response of the best artists to these influences has always been original and questioning and has opened new avenues for future development. The book is organized by decade, and the achievements of each are highlighted by statements from a distinguished group of artists, designers, collectors, and critics who have themselves made a significant contribution to each decade. Encouragement, challenge, and opposition have all provided stimulus for creative talents that have been able to override the changes of taste and fashion. The book features the work of more than 250 artists, from Henry Moore, David Hockney, Francis Bacon, and Lucian Freud to James Stirling, Richard Rogers, Neville Brody, and Damien Hint. Thepublication is also a celebration of the first fifty years of Thames and Hudson -- founded by Walter Neurath in 1949 -- and the role that the publishing house has played in educating the public and supporting the arts during this period.

David Hockney's Dog Days

David Hockney

David Hockney introduces his two dachshunds, Stanley and Boodgie, in this delightful new book. The result of both sharp observation and affection, these paintings and drawings are lyrical studies in form and color. A text by the artist himself gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how to work with models who don't necessarily want to sit still. Hockney has provided additional drawings made specially on the page, and has been largely involved in the layout of the book, creating a charming and unified whole.

China Diary/With 158 Watercolors, Drawings and Photographs, 84 in Color

David Hockney; Stephen Spender

Stephen Spender and David Hockney's witty astute and delightfully illustrated diary of the trip they took together to China takes in not just the grandiose and exotic tourist sites--the Great Wall, the Temple of the Jade Buddha, the magical landscape of Kweilin--but the unofficial incidents--the crowds entranced by Shanghai shop window displays, the animal merry-go-round in the Children's Park in Canton. And both writer and artist have a lot to say of their meetings and talks with Chinese poets and painters.
