Signed by David Hockney on the title page. A large, varied collection of images of Hockney's work from throughout his career and across many disciplines, including painting, photography, stage design and digital printing. Most of the images are reproduced here for the first time. Accompanied by an insightful and detailed commentary based on a series of extended conversations between Hockney and Nikos Stagnos over a period of five years, built around the idea of artistic practice as an exploration of different and new ways of perceiving the world. A fascinating look at the evolution of Hockney's practical and philosophical approach to art.
