David Hockney Knihy

Niezwykła książka najwybitniejszego żyjącego artysty Davida Hockneya napisana we wsp�łpracy z Martinem Gayfordem wybitnym historykiem sztuki.Historia obraz�w rozpoczęła się w jaskini i tymczasem kończy się na ekranie komputera. Kto wie, w jakim kierunku to p�jdzie?Jedno jest pewne: zadanie przedstawienia świata w dw�ch wymiarach wciąż będzie aktualne. - David Hockney. David Hockney twierdzi, że jedyny spos�b, w jaki możemy zdać relację z tego, co widzimy, to stworzenie obrazu.Każdy, kto obrazy tworzy, musi się natomiast zmierzyć z tą samą kwestią: jak sprowadzić tr�jwymiarowych ludzi, przedmioty i przestrzeń do płaskiej powierzchni. Rezultaty tych wysiłk�w często się szufladkuje jako obrazy malowane, zdjęcia czy filmy.

Světově proslulý výtvarník David Hockney seznamuje čtenáře s výsledky svého studia děl starých mistrů — malířů z období renesance a baroka. Soustředil se na „technické“ aspekty — perspektivy, nápadných disproporcí a podobně. Objevil, že mnozí z těchto umělců si při práci pomáhali optickými přístroji, a dokonce ví, jak to dělali. Pro své tvrzení získal Hockney oporu také v textovém materiálu — dobových dokumentech. Mnohé z těchto dokumentů, které se pohybují na hranici mezi přírodními vědami, naukami o umění a filozofií, přicházejí ke čtenářům v českém překladu vůbec poprvé.

David Hockney, ein Pop-Künstler, Maler des modernen Lebens und Farbenvirtuose, ist seit sechs Jahrzehnten bekannt für seine unermüdliche Erkundung der Welt und ihrer Darstellungsformen. Er schafft unvergessliche Bilder, von den zeichnerischen Arbeiten mit integriertem Text aus dem Swinging London der 1960er-Jahre bis hin zu seiner berühmten Swimmingpool-Serie, die den kalifornischen Lebensstil der 1970er dokumentiert. Hockneys präzise Porträts und leuchtend farbigen, übergroßen Landschaften entstanden nach seiner Rückkehr in die Heimat Yorkshire. Seine Werke umfassen Zeichnungen, die Gesehenes direkt auf Papier übertragen, multiperspektivische Polaroid-Collagen, die den Raum in Detailansichten öffnen, und iPad-Zeichnungen, die das Licht mit modernen Mitteln einfangen. Diese Sonderausgabe zum 40-jährigen Jubiläum von TASCHEN kombiniert die beiden Bände der Monografie neu und präsentiert Hockneys Leben und Werk in einem chronologischen Dialog. Ergänzt durch Porträtfotos und Ausstellungsansichten, ermöglicht sie einen Einblick in Hockneys künstlerische Forschungen, die Entwicklung seiner Malerei und die Inspirationsquellen für sein vielfältiges Werk.

A compact edition of Hockney and Gayford's brilliantly original book, with updated material and brand-new pieces of art Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing, and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made across the millennia. Juxtaposing a rich variety of images--a still from a Disney cartoon with a Japanese woodblock print by Hiroshige, a scene from an Eisenstein film with a Velazquez paint-ing--the authors cross the normal boundaries between high culture and popular entertainment, and argue that film, photography, paint-ing, and drawing are deeply interconnected. Featuring a revised final chapter with some of Hockney's latest works, this new, compact edition of A History of Pictures remains a significant contribution to the discussion of how artists represent reality.

A new, compact edition of a brilliantly original exploration by David Hockney and Martin Gayford, featuring a revised final chapter and three new artworks. Drawing from a lifetime of creativity, Hockney delves into the history and significance of picture-making, addressing fundamental questions about the nature of images and the interplay between painters and photography. He examines what makes marks on a flat surface compelling, how to depict movement in still images, and the connections between modern media and classical art. By juxtaposing diverse visuals—from Disney cartoons to Hiroshige woodblock prints and Eisenstein films to Velázquez paintings—the authors blur the lines between high culture and popular entertainment, revealing unexpected links across time and artistic forms. Building on Hockney's previous work, they argue for the deep interconnections among film, photography, painting, and drawing. Insightful and thought-provoking, this edition enhances our understanding of how we represent reality, featuring Hockney's latest creations, including a stained-glass window in Westminster Abbey.

David Hockney is recognized as one of the most influential British artists of the past century. Born in 1937, he has dedicated his life to drawing, oil painting, printmaking, set design, and photo collage. More recently, he has extended his practice into watercolor, charcoal, multi-camera video installation, and digital drawing that embraces touchscreen technology. Hockney rose to prominence as an artist in the 1960s when he began honing his naturalistic painting style. He has worked consistently in the genres of portraiture, landscape, and still life, often with bright colors recalling the Pop movement, but he has continually embraced new materials and technologies throughout his celebrated career. David Hockney: Current accompanies an exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia that will include his extraordinary large-scale iPad digital drawings and Cubist multi-viewpoint video works—bodies of work that have seen Hockney bring the same focus he is renowned for in his portraiture to the landscape. Eighty-one acrylic portraits are also presented along with recent experiments in perspective in the media of painting, photography, and digital compositing.
