I am so thrilled with this book on the life of David Hockney. I saw one of his pool paintings in the Los Angeles Hockney: A Graphic Life (BioGraphics)
I am so thrilled with this book on the life of David Hockney. I saw one of his pool paintings in the Los Angeles Contemporary Art Museum along with several other paintings he did in the surrounding areas. I fell in love with his style and then I found his dachshund series and have been a fan of his work ever since. This book covers his life in an easy-to-follow manner in a graphic novel form. This is an excellent way to get the best of both worlds by seeing his work and how it reflected his life.
This book is so well done and my only quibble is that all of Hockney's art is reformatted into the graphic style of the book instead of the artist's true style but it is a nice homage to his work. This is one of those books that you can pick any part of the book and read a chapter and then move on without having to read it in order. ...more
