David Hockney Libri

Pop-Künstler, Maler des modernen Lebens, Landschaftsmaler, Farbenvirtuose, Erforscher von Bild und Wahrnehmung – seit sechs Jahrzehnten ist David Hockney als ein Künstler bekannt, der immer wieder neue Mittel findet, die Welt und ihre Darstellungsmöglichkeiten zu erkunden . Dabei schafft er durchwegs unvergessliche Bilder: freie Arbeiten mit zeichnerischem Strich und integriertem Text aus der Zeit des Swinging London der 1960er-Jahre ; die berühmte Swimmingpool-Serie als Chronist des Californian Way of Life in den 1970ern; genau beobachtete Porträts und leuchtend farbige, übergroße Landschaften nach der späten Rückkehr in seine Heimat Yorkshire. Neben Zeichnungen , in denen er Gesehenes direkt auf Papier überträgt, stehen multiperspektivische Polaroid-Collagen , die den Raum in eine Vielzahl von Detailansichten öffnen, oder iPad-Zeichnungen , in denen er mit heutigen Mitteln das Licht einfängt – Zeugen von Hockneys fortwährender Experimentierfreude. Diese Sonderausgabe wurde zum 40-jährigen Jubiläum von TASCHEN aus den beiden Bänden der Monografie David Hockney: A Bigger Book neu zusammengestellt: Leben und Werk Jahr für Jahr als Dialog aus Hockneys eigenen Arbeiten sowie aus den Stimmen der Zeit, Rezensionen und Reflexionen des Künstlers in einem chronologischen Text, ergänzt durch Porträtfotos und Ausstellungsansichten . Zusammen ergibt sich eine Perspektive, bei der wir Seite für Seite miterleben, welche künstlerischen Forschungen Hockney anstellt, welche Entwicklung seine Malerei nimmt, und wo er die Inspirationen für sein vielfältiges Werk findet.

A compact edition of Hockney and Gayford's brilliantly original book, with updated material and brand-new pieces of art Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing, and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made across the millennia. Juxtaposing a rich variety of images--a still from a Disney cartoon with a Japanese woodblock print by Hiroshige, a scene from an Eisenstein film with a Velazquez paint-ing--the authors cross the normal boundaries between high culture and popular entertainment, and argue that film, photography, paint-ing, and drawing are deeply interconnected. Featuring a revised final chapter with some of Hockney's latest works, this new, compact edition of A History of Pictures remains a significant contribution to the discussion of how artists represent reality.

A new, compact edition of a brilliantly original exploration by David Hockney and Martin Gayford, featuring a revised final chapter and three new artworks. Drawing from a lifetime of creativity, Hockney delves into the history and significance of picture-making, addressing fundamental questions about the nature of images and the interplay between painters and photography. He examines what makes marks on a flat surface compelling, how to depict movement in still images, and the connections between modern media and classical art. By juxtaposing diverse visuals—from Disney cartoons to Hiroshige woodblock prints and Eisenstein films to Velázquez paintings—the authors blur the lines between high culture and popular entertainment, revealing unexpected links across time and artistic forms. Building on Hockney's previous work, they argue for the deep interconnections among film, photography, painting, and drawing. Insightful and thought-provoking, this edition enhances our understanding of how we represent reality, featuring Hockney's latest creations, including a stained-glass window in Westminster Abbey.

A celebration of a graphic design genius, published to mark what would have been his 80th birthday.  The Wild World of Barney Bubbles  celebrates the graphic design genius whose work linked the underground optimism of the 60s to the sardonic and manipulative art that accompanied the explosion of punk. Barney Bubbles remains a powerful influence on contemporary artists four decades after his death, having encompassed designs for Sir Terence Conran and underground magazines  Oz  and  Friends  as well as remarkable record sleeves and posters for Billy Bragg, Elvis Costello, Depeche Mode, Ian Dury, Hawkwind, The Damned and Nick Lowe. He also collaborated with artists and photographers, including Derek Boshier and Brian Griffin, and produced paintings, furniture, set designs and promo videos, not least the era-defining clip for The Specials’ 80’s hit, "Ghost Town." This revised edition of Paul Gorman’s definitive Barney Bubbles monograph contains hundreds of rare and previously unpublished photographs, working sketches, notebooks and original artwork. It includes a new essay by American designer Clarita Hinojosa and sixteen extra pages of rare ephemera painstakingly collected by the author over the years.  580 color illustrations
