About this Item

Hockney, David. That's the Way I See It, 1993, a visual and narrative account of the artistic development of one of the most influential figures in late twentieth century British and international art. David Hockney emerged in the 1960s as a central artist associated with British Pop Art and later became internationally recognized for his paintings, photographic experiments, stage designs, and explorations of perspective and visual perception. This book presents Hockney's own reflections on his artistic practice and intellectual influences, offering commentary on the evolution of his work across multiple media and decades of artistic production. Hockney, David. That's the Way I See It. London: Chronicle, 1993. First edition. Inscribed by the author on the front endpaper, "For Mimi + Bernie," and signed "David Hockney." The volume functions as Hockney's visual autobiography, combining the artist's commentary with a large body of reproduced work spanning painting, drawing, graphic design, and experimental visual projects. The book contains approximately 350 reproductions of Hockney's artworks and design projects, integrated with a personal narrative in which the artist discusses his creative process, influences, and technical experimentation. Hockney's work helped redefine contemporary figurative painting and visual culture in the late twentieth century, particularly through his vivid depictions of California life, explorations of photography and collage, and investigations into spatial representation and perspective. His writing in this volume offers direct insight into the ideas guiding these experiments and the broader artistic environment in which his work developed. Signed copies of Hockney's major retrospective publications provide documentary evidence of the artist's engagement with the public presentation of his career and artistic philosophy. Light handling wear; dust jacket clean and intact. Overall very good condition.
