Sumptuously illustrated, this radiant volume encapsulates what it truly means to be a visual artist. Booklist David Hockneys exuberant work is highly praised and widely celebratedhe is perhaps the worlds most popular living painter. But he is also something else: an incisive and original thinker on art.This new edition includes a revised introduction and five new chapters which cover Hockneys production since 2011, including preparations for the Bigger Picture exhibition held at the Royal Academy in 2012 and the making of Hockneys iPad drawings and plans for the show. A difficult period followed the exhibitions huge success, marked first by a stroke, which left Hockney unable to speak for a long period, followed by the vandalism of the artists Totem treetrunk, and the tragic suicide of his assistant shortly thereafter. Escaping the gloom, in spring 2013 Hockney moved back to L.A. A few months later, Martin Gayford visited Hockney in the L.A. studio, where the fullyrecovered artist was hard at work on his Comdie humaine, a series of fulllength portraits painted in the studio.The conversations between Hockney and Gayford are punctuated by surprising and revealing observations on other artistsVan Gogh, Vermeer, and Picasso among themand enlivened by shrewd insights into the contrasting social and physical landscapes of Yorkshire, Hockneys birthplace, and California. 181 illustrations, 154 in color
