Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with the art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been throughout history. What makes marks on a flat surface interesting? How do you show movement in a still picture, and how do films and television connect with old masters?

Full Product Description

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 Velázquez painting – the authors cross the normal boundaries between high culture and popular entertainment to make unexpected connections across time and media. Insightful and thought provoking, A History of Pictures is an important contribution to our appreciation of how we represent our reality.  

This new edition includes a revised final chapter with some of Hockney’s latest works, including the stained-glass window in Westminster Abbey.
