Beschreibung
The bestselling book of conversations between David Hockney and art critic Martin Gayford as they explore the nature of creativity.

David Hockney's exuberant work is highly praised and widely loved, but he is also something else: an incisive and original thinker on art. In this now classic book, filled with anecdote, insight, passion and wit, Hockney reveals the fruits of his lifelong meditations on the problems and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional world on a flat surface. Compiled from a decade and a half of conversations with art critic Martin Gayford, it reflects a period in which Hockney relocated from Los Angeles to his native East Yorkshire. Their exchanges communicate the immense delight and inspiration that Hockney finds in the changing seasons and natural splendours of this sparsely inhabited corner of England - a delight that is, in the words of Margaret Drabble, 'an invitation to us all to look better, see better, enjoy more'.
