Description

A picture, says David Hockney, is the one way that we will be in contact what we see. Here, in a collaboration with art critic Martin Gayford, he explores the many ways in which artists have pictured the world, sharing sparkling insights and ideas with the intention to delight each and every art lover and art maker. Readers who thrilled to Hockney’s Secret Knowledge know that he has an uncanny ability to get into the minds of artists. In A History of Pictures he covers way more ground, getting on the roots of visual expression and technique through hundreds of images—from cave paintings to frames from movies—which can be reproduced. It’s a joyful celebration of certainly one of humanity’s oldest impulses.
