A classic, charting fifty years of the creative evolution of one of the most popular andbinfluential artists of modern times A stunning, lively volume charting almost fifty years of an extraordinary artist's creativity across a range of media, Hockney's Pictures is the definitive retrospective of one of the most popular artists of the twentieth century. The pieces are selected and organized thematically by David Hockney himself, tracking his lifelong experiments in ways of looking and depicting. Including more than 300 illustrations, accompanied by quotes from the artist that illuminate the passionate thinking behind the work, Hockney's Pictures shows the evolution and diversity of Hockney's paintings, drawings, watercolors, prints, and photography, confirming and reinforcing his position as one of the world's most popular living artists.

This is a carefully designed volume; the almost square format comfortably accommodates both landscape and portrait proportions, the images are presented imaginatively on the page with a varied layout which manages to avoid being confusing. Many of the images are full page with some presented as full page bleed and some occasionally crossing the gutter. Each picture is given its title and date; the additional details of size and medium are to be found in a separate list at the back of the book. The book describes itself as having "325 illustrations, 277 in colour"; however this is slightly unfair for as far as I can tell the 48 black and white images comprise pencil or charcoal drawings, etchings and the like which in themselves are monochrome.
