Hockney's journey is fascinating and full of intriguing facts. Did you know he was a key figure in the 1960s London art scene? His early works, with their graphic lines and integrated text, perfectly encapsulated the 'Swinging Sixties' spirit. But his artistic curiosity didn't stop there. He later moved to California and created his famous swimming pool series, which became the ultimate representation of the laid back, sun drenched California lifestyle.

Another captivating aspect of Hockney's work is his embrace of new technologies. He was a pioneer in using multi perspective Polaroid collages to open up the space in his images, creating a myriad of detailed views. In recent years, he has continued this experimental spirit with his vibrant iPad drawings, proving that a master can capture light and form with the most modern of mediums. This hardcover art book showcases all of these incredible facets of his work, from the early pop art pieces to his luminous landscapes and penetrating portraits.
