1960s, the founder of photo collage, illustrator, painter, and stage designer, who is considered to be the greatest British painter.\u003cbr\u003e David Hockney has continued to experiment with his art in almost every medium, from his series of swimming pool paintings to his massive landscapes and photo collages.\u003cbr\u003e With a perspective as unique as his works, he asked and answered questions about how the world came to be and how humans have recreated it.\u003cbr\u003e His intimate world of works unfolds, based on the lifelong theme of 'people and paintings' and the belief that paintings can 'see' the world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs I immerse myself in the author's conversation about art with Hockney, I realize that the purpose of visual art is to 'make people look, to focus their attention.'\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, we can see that intense pleasure is obtained through looking.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, it is the result of Hockney's lifelong, persistent and serious reflections on the pleasures of the visual and the essence of art and creativity.\u003cbr\u003e Also, interesting stories about the masters of art history.\u003cbr\u003e You'll also get a detailed look at the history of art, including stories about the contrasting landscapes of California and Yorkshire, and stories of talented artists like Henri

the great painters of the world make the world around us more complex, more interesting, and more mysterious than it appears.\u003cbr\u003e This is one of the most important things they do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hockney is an artist of extraordinary scope, boldness and passion.\u003cbr\u003e The question that constantly preoccupies him is what the world is like and how humanity reproduces it.\u003cbr\u003e That is, it is about people and pictures.\u003cbr\u003e This is a broad and profound question, and it is the subject of this book. \" --- From Martin Gayford's 'Preface'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “It’s really good to have limits. \u003cbr\u003eIt becomes a stimulant.\u003cbr\u003e If you were asked to draw a tulip using five lines or 100 lines, you would be much more creative if you used five lines.\u003cbr\u003e After all, drawing itself always has limitations.\u003cbr\u003e It is made of black and white or line and non-line and is drawn with charcoal, pencil or pen.\u003cbr\u003e You could probably use some color.\u003cbr\u003e But if you only have three colors, you'll have to use those three colors to make it look like the color you want.\u003cbr\u003e What did Picasso say? \"If you don't have red, use blue.\" He meant to make blue look like red.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"David Hockney\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “We see with memory. \u003cbr\u003eBecause my memories are different from yours, even if we stand in the same place, we don't see the same things.\u003cbr\u003e We each have different memories.\u003cbr\u003e So different factors come into play.\u003cbr\u003e How you've been to a place before and how well you know it will influence you.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, there is no such thing as an objective viewpoint.” ---From “David Hockney”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Being able to draw means being able to place objects in a plausible space.\u003cbr\u003e People who are not good at drawing are not good at doing that very thing.\u003cbr\u003e This is usually the case with digitally edited photos.\u003cbr\u003e The space in that photo is not plausible.\u003cbr\u003e Digital has changed everything. \u003cbr\u003eThese days, I don't think I need to trust any kind of photo, no matter where it comes from.\u003cbr\u003e There is a specific kind of language about photography.\u003cbr\u003e But you can manipulate all of that with a computer.”\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---From \"David

painters!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A pop artist representing British pop art in the 1960s, a photographer, illustrator, printmaker, and stage designer who attempted a new approach to photo collage.\u003cbr\u003e There are many words to describe David Hockney, considered one of Britain's greatest painters.\u003cbr\u003e When you think of Hockney, you think of his swimming pool paintings like \"The Splash,\" his massive landscapes, and his photo collages that reinterpret perspective using photographs, but Hockney has created work in almost every possible medium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a record of conversations between renowned art critic Martin Gayford and David Hockney over a period of ten years.\u003cbr\u003e With a perspective as unique as his paintings, Hockney asks and answers questions about what the world is like and how humans represent it.\u003cbr\u003e From traditional landscapes to iPhone drawings, from opera stage designs to video work using nine cameras.\u003cbr\u003e Although he crossed over various media and artistic fields with his strong curiosity and experimental spirit, the question that Hockney devoted his life to was 'people and paintings'.\u003cbr\u003e And he always believed that painting allowed him to 'see' the world.\u003cbr\u003e How can a painting that transfers three dimensions onto a two-dimensional plane, rather than a photograph or video that gives the illusion of showing reality as it is, 'allow us to see' something?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLook for a long time, look intently\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hockney painted anything that triggered his desire to observe and describe.\u003cbr\u003e The same scenery he sees every day, the vase of flowers that is always there, the hat or slippers he just took off – these were all subjects that always contained something new and diverse to him.\u003cbr\u003e Hockney, who used to stop his car on the road, open his sketchbook, and sketch grass that no one noticed, said that if he had only taken a photo of the grass, he would not have looked at it as carefully as he did when drawing it.\u003cbr\u003e The unique characteristics and charm of every subject in the world can only be discovered by those who observe it closely.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, ‘looking intently for a long time’ was a central act in Hockney’s life and art, and a source of great joy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor Hockney, who has painted many attractive landscapes, nature, which is always there, has been a subject with infinite diversity, so the more you look at it, the more you see.\u003cbr\u003e Hockney says that what makes the paintings of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Monet so striking and moving is that the artists saw so many things with their eyes and their hearts.\u003cbr\u003e Enjoying observing and seeing the world around you with passion.\u003cbr\u003e That is what every painter must do, and it is the instinct of 'Homo Pictor', the human race that draws pictures with a desire for description.\u003cbr\u003e As you immerse yourself in the conversation between the author and Hockney, you come to a profound realization that the purpose of visual art is to \"make you look, to focus your attention,\" and to derive intense pleasure from looking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAfter all, it's a painting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHockney believed that media like the iPhone were about ways to create traces, not about creating the traces themselves.\u003cbr\u003e Whether he was taking photographs and stitching them together, shooting a video and displaying it on multiple screens, drawing on an iPad with his finger, or designing an opera stage, for Hockney it was all part of the process of 'drawing' to create meaningful traces.\u003cbr\u003e Drawings that allow us to 'see things more clearly', the relationship between various media and the way we see things, the relationship between images and reality, the impact of technological changes on depiction, and the joy of 'seeing'.\u003cbr\u003e At times serious, at times humorous, the conversations between Gayford and Hockney reflect the pleasures of the visual and Hockney's lifelong, persistent and serious reflections on the nature of art and creativity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe book is enriched by a variety of conversations spanning the history of art, including entertaining stories about many of the great masters of art history, such as Constable, Van Gogh, Vermeer, Caravaggio, Monet, and Picasso; stories about the contrasting landscapes of California and Yorkshire where he lived; and stories about talented artists he interacted with, such as Henri Cartier and Billy Wilder.\u003cbr\u003e This book, a unique and captivating self-portrait of Britain's greatest artist, David Hockney, will offer readers a fresh perspective on art and the world of art.
