«We must live in the here and now. It is the present that is eternal».
David Hockney
Through themes such as drawing, photography, nature, creativity and the internet, The World According to David Hockney offers a fascinating insight into the spirit, personality and ideas of one of the most influential artists of our time.
From everyday observations—«The eye is always moving; if it doesn't move, you're dead»—to reflections on art, colour and the work of great masters such as Caravaggio, Cézanne or Hokusai, Hockney demonstrates his extraordinary ability to express profound truths with brief, memorable phrases.
Born in Bradford, England, in 1937, he studied art in London before moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s. There he created his celebrated swimming pool paintings and, since then, has explored multiple disciplines, such as photocollage, video and digital technologies. In 2011, a survey of over a thousand British artists recognised him as the most influential British artist of all time.
