This book of conversations, recorded in 2008 and 2010, between David Hockney and Marco Livingstone is a perfect introduction to the forthcoming exhibition of Hockney landscapes.
In 2004, in a series of dazzlingly fresh watercolours of the rolling landscape known as the Wolds, Hockney embarked on one of the most ambitious and extraordinary projects of his career, that of memorializing this little-known, intimate and gently beautiful part of the world in a series of ever-expanding vibrant oil paintings.
In two extended and deeply revealing conversations with art historian Marco Livingstone, Hockney speaks with great clarity and candour of the complex personal and artistic motivations that have drawn him back to his roots in Yorkshire and led to one of the crowning achievements of his life in art.
Marco Livingstone is co-curator of the forthcoming Royal Academy of Arts exhibition David Hockney RA - A Bigger Picture.
84 pages, fully illustrated, 32.5 x 25 cm.
