Synopsis "David Hockney. A Chronology. 40Th Anniversary Edition (Quarante)"

Pop artist, painter of modern life, landscape painter, master of color, explorer of image and perception--for six decades, David Hockney has been known as an artist who always finds new ways of exploring the world and its representational possibilities. He has consistently created unforgettable images: works with graphic lines and integrated text in the Swinging Sixties in London; the famous swimming pool series as a representation of the 1970s California lifestyle; closely observed portraits and brightly colored, oversized landscapes after his eventual return to his native Yorkshire. In addition to drawings in which he transfers what he sees directly onto paper, there are multiperspective Polaroid collages that open up the space into a myriad of detailed views, and iPad drawings in which he captures light using a most modern medium--testaments to Hockney's enduring delight in experimentation.This special edition has been newly assembled from the two volumes of the David Hockney: A Bigger Book monograph to celebrate TASCHEN's 40th anniversary. Hockney's life and work is presented year by year as a dialogue between his works and voices from the time period, alongside reviews and reflections by the artist in a chronological text, supplemented by portrait photographs and exhibition views. Together they open up new perspectives, page after page, revealing how Hockney undertakes his artistic research, how his painting develops, and where he finds inspiration for his multifaceted work.About the seriesTASCHEN is 40!

David Hockney (Bradford, Inglaterra, 9 de julio de 1937) es uno de los artistas más influyentes del arte contemporáneo. Pintor, dibujante, grabador, fotógrafo y escenógrafo, es una figura destacada del movimiento del Pop Art, aunque su obra abarca una gran variedad de estilos y técnicas. Estudió en el Royal College of Art, donde comenzó a desarrollar un lenguaje artístico innovador que lo llevó al reconocimiento internacional en la década de 1960.

Gran parte de su producción está inspirada en la vida y los paisajes de California, especialmente sus famosas pinturas de piscinas, como A Bigger Splash (1967), considerada una de las imágenes más emblemáticas del arte moderno. Sus retratos, paisajes y naturalezas muertas se caracterizan por el uso de colores intensos, composiciones originales y una constante exploración de la percepción visual. Además, experimentó con la fotografía mediante collages conocidos como joiners y, más recientemente, incorporó herramientas digitales como el iPad para crear dibujos y pinturas.

A lo largo de su carrera, Hockney ha recibido numerosos reconocimientos por su contribución al arte. Sus obras forman parte de las colecciones de los museos más importantes del mundo y han alcanzado cifras récord en subastas. Considerado uno de los artistas vivos más importantes del Reino Unido, continúa creando e innovando, demostrando que la tecnología y la tradición pueden convivir en la expresión artística.

Aunque he comprado varias oportunidades en esta página y la recomiendo mucho, lamentablemente este libro me llegó en muy malas condiciones. Debidamente me devolvieron el dinero, de todas formas, espero que este proveedor mejore su servicio para que se pueda pedir sin problemas!

Las reproducciones de las obras son excelentes, variadas y organizadas cronológicamente desde la década de 1950 hasta 2016. El texto es básico y de recorrido biográfico, como es usual de Taschen, no es análisis profundo de la obra de Hockney. El tamaño del libro es pequeño (16.5 x 22.5cm) pero lo compensa el relativo bajo precio, la gran cantidad de imágenes que contiene y su calidad de impresión.
