The revised and updated edition softcover monograph art book is published by Thames & Hudson, printed in Spain in 1987 by Artes Grapficas Toleda S.A., authored by Marco Livingstone.

David Hockney ( B. 1937 ) has commanded greater popular acclaim internationally than any other British artist of The 20th Century. The author Marco Livingstone explores here the relationship between Hockney's art and his life, and charts the shifts in Hockney's work from the early 1960's to his renewed absorption with inventions and artifice since the mid 1970's, his brilliant photographic collages, and his theatrical designs for the stage.

A delight to read, the first major study of the artist's career contains much new information necessary for a fresh appraisal of Hockney's achievements : it gives a clear and methodical account of the artist's development, it illustrates each point with artwork reproductions, and it details for the first time, the influence of the camera on Hockney's work. It is an intelligent, conscientious, sensitive and understanding presentation of, and commentary on this great Contemporary master's artworks.

The rare out of print monograph Pop Art book measures 5 7/8" W X 8 1/4" H X 1/2" D, with 252 pages. It features 187 illustrations including 36 in full color, with compelling accompanied text.
