David Hockney. My Window - David Hockney - książka

Opis

When David Hockney embraced the iPhone as an art tool, it revolutionized his creative process. In the spring of 2009, he began crafting digital paintings, capturing the essence of morning landscapes with vibrant lines and stunning colors on a screen that allowed direct manipulation of light’s pure hues. By 2010, Hockney transitioned to using an iPad, which, with its larger screen, broadened his artistic scope, enabling a richer interweaving of color, light, and lines. His book presents scenes viewed from a window in his Yorkshire home, depicting everything from the radiant hues of a sunrise to serene nighttime vistas, and the sudden bloom of spring. These paintings, created between 2009 and 2012 and curated by Hockney himself, beautifully detail time’s passage, including intricate elements like raindrops on glass, the glow of distant lights, or diverse foliage gracing windowsills. Initially released in an exclusive signed version in 2020, this artist's book is now available in an accessible pocket edition, offering a perfect opportunity to appreciate Hockney’s art. As the Times critic suggests, this book is like receiving a bouquet from David Hockney.
