David Hockney: Some New Painting (and Photography)

“Hockney’s belief is that it is possible to tackle venerable conundrums in a fresh way and, by doing so, make a new kind of picture. That’s his aim. These exciting new works show that he’s achieving it.” — Martin Gayford 

In David Hockney: Some New Painting (And Photography), published on the occasion of the 2014 exhibition in New York, the prolific artist continues his exploration of the dynamic interrelationship between painting and photography with new acrylic on canvas works and photographic drawings depicting figures who have posed—and danced—in his studio. A text by Martin Gayford traces the artistic origins and development of these works, which draw inspiration from the likes of Matisse and Picasso.
