Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Cloth, dj. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. A vibrant and intimate view of people with whom Hockney has developed relationships over the past 50 years. Following his sweeping exploration of landscape in 2012 at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, published in the phenomenally successful David Hockney: A Bigger Picture, this new volume looks exclusively at a new series of portraits that David Hockney, one of the most famous artists in the world, has been painting recently. In 2012, Hockney returned to California, where he had lived and worked for long periods. There followed a series of painted portraits, the subjects of which ranged from studio assistants and office staff to family, friends, and long-term acquaintances. Also included are a number of fellow artists, curators, and gallerists, including John Baldessari and Larry Gagosian. Reproduced in stunning colorplates the paintings are shown alongside revealing images of the works in various stages of development, which provide an exciting insight into Hockney's painterly process. The book is introduced with two important new texts. This vivid series of portraits, executed in bold acrylics, observant and full of life, marks Hockney's vibrant return to Technicolor form.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. This is the most perfect book and would make a perfect gift. David Hockney is perhaps the most popular and versatile British artist of the last century. Following his sweeping exploration of landscape at the Royal Academy in 2012, this volume focuses on the portraits he has been painting in the last few years - the subjects of which are friends, family and art-world luminaries. For a brief period in 2013 Hockney stopped painting altogether, which was extremely unusual for him. However, his move from Yorkshire to California spurred new inspiration, and Hockney decided to revisit acrylic paints and bold colours. Vibrant, observant and full of life, these portraits mark a return to Hockney's trademark technicolour style. Incisive text from Tim Barringer places these works in context, tracking Hockney's development as a portrait painter. Meanwhile curator Edith Devaney interviews the artist about the series, which Hockney describes as ' twenty-hour exposures', in reference to the time each portrait takes to paint. The book documents each stage of each painting, from first to last mark, giving the reader a unique insight into Hockney's working method. AUTHOR: Tim Barringer is Paul Mellon Professor of the History of Art at Yale University. He was co-author of 'David Hockney: A Bigger Picture' (RA Publications, 2012). Edith Devaney is Curator of Contemporary Projects at the Royal Academy of Arts. SELLING POINTS: .

Cataloghi). Questo libro, riccamente illustrato, esplora il rapporto di David Hockney con la ritrattistica, concentrandosi sulla straordinaria serie di "82 Portraits and 1 Still-life" (82 ritratti e 1 natura morta) che ha dipinto negli anni più recenti a Los Angeles. Per un breve periodo, nel 2013, Hockney smette di dipingere, ma dopo avere lasciato lo Yorkshire per tornare in California riprende i materiali acrilici e i colori intensi. Vibranti, saturi di vita, questi ritratti palesano l'osservazione attenta dell'artista e segnano un ritorno alla forma vivida, in technicolor. I soggetti sono amici, familiari, personalità della scena artistica, tra cui John Baldessari, Celia Birtwell, Larry Gagosian, Barry Humphries e lord Rothschild. Il racconto esaustivo e affascinante che Tim Barringer fa della ritrattistica di Hockney culmina nella sua interpretazione di quest'ultima serie. Edith Devaney dialoga con l'artista sulle opere che lui descrive come "pose di 24 ore", in riferimento al tempo richiesto da ogni ritratto. La descrizione delle fasi intermedie di numerosi dipinti permette al lettore una comprensione eccezionale, unica e approfondita della tecnica di Hockney.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 303 Seiten, 144 Farbtafeln, 114 Abbildungen in Farbe, 5 in Schwarz-Weiß - Im Bestreben, die zeitgenössische Kunst zu erneuern, ist Hockney dabei zur Freiluftmalerei zurückgekehrt. Mit wachem Blick hat er sich der Landschaft von East Yorkshire zugewendet, in der er aufgewachsen ist. In seinen Bildern befasst er sich aus heutiger Perspektive mit dem uralten Topos der Landschaftsdarstellung: Sie thematisieren den Schrecken und die Erhabenheit der Natur, zwei Pole, die die Beziehung zwischen Natur und Mensch seit jeher ausmachen. Entstanden sind diese Werke von großer Intensität und brillianter Farbigkeit. Das großformatige Buch versammelt über einhundert Gemälde, die zumeist noch nicht in der Öffentlichkeit zu sehen waren. In kenntnisreichen Texten wird Hockneys Beschäftigung mit dem Genre der Lanschaftsmalerei beleuchtet und die neuen Werke werden in den Kontext des künstlerischen ?uvres gestellt.
