That's the Way I See ItHockney, David
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"Does Hockney as Holmes cheat? Well, a little. There are some large convenient omissions and enthusiasm often manipulates evidence....Hockney is at his most authoritative where his own artistic discoveries collide with the past....Hockney is a brilliant artist full of humanity, wit and invention....[W]hen looking at pictures...one can have no more stimulating and provocative companion than Hockney. Perhaps he has jumped the gun here and produced merely an interim report on his sleuthing, but he has asked valuable questions whose freshness art historians might envy."
Tom Phillips, Times Literary Supplement, 11/02/2001
Review:"[T]he drawings that Hockney has been doing in the past few years, inspired by what he believes is Ingres's use of the camera lucida..., are a classic demonstration that art has nothing much to do with gadgetry. Hockney may well be right..., but the klutziness of Hockney's pencil drawings only underscores the extent to which the magic of those Ingres drawings is a triumph not of science but of sensibility....Hockney's obsession...is intriguing, but it can also seem symptomatic of an art world in which many people are no longer convinced that works of art have an inviolable, stand-alone formal value."
