Hockney on Photography: Conversations with Paul Joyce
YA-- David Hockney's use of the Polaroid SX-70 camera reinvents the conventional use of perspective. With multiple shots from different viewpoints, he constructs what he calls "joiners," or photo-collages of vibrant magnetism. This book provides insight into the work process of this versatile and original British artist who now lives in California. For YAs interested in photography it will open up a new realm, as well as show the dedication required to implement a new idea. The attractive volume is well illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs.- Jenni Elliott, Episcopal High School, Bellaire, Tex.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
