Description: In 1954, a 16-year-old student at the Bradford College of Art opted to study lithography as part of the National Diploma in Design. His first effort, a small self-portrait printed only in a handful of impressions, marks the beginning of one of the longest and most diverse careers in modern printmaking. By turns traditional and groundbaking, over six decades David Hockney has created graphic works of great wit, beauty of great wit, beauty and intellectual complexity. This book features over 150 works, from etchings executed at the Royal College of Art in the 1960s, to experiments with printed computer drawings some 50 years later, via portraits, pools, poetry, Xeroxes and investigations into a multi-point perspective.
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, February 5-May 11, 2014.
