Customer Reviews

this is a must have hockney book

I have read all of Hockney's interview books that I know of. Also as an avid and harsh critic of books pertaining to artists I have to say that this one is a book that will not let you down. It is simple in that Hockney discusses his photographic work over a period of four or five years and several interviews. What is majestic about this book is that it quickly envelopes the entire spectrum of painting, sight , and photography. Hockney talks about what it means to be an "artist" in the barest sense of the word. It is inspiring as well as insightful on several levels. If you get this book, you wont be unsatisfied.
