<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A compact edition of Hockney and Gayford's brilliantly original book, with updated material and brand-new pieces of art</b> <p/> 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 painting--the authors cross the normal boundaries between high culture and popular entertainment, and argue that film, photography, painting, and drawing are deeply interconnected. Featuring a revised final chapter with some of Hockney's latest works, this new, compact edition of <i>A History of Pictures </i>remains a significant contribution to the discussion of how artists represent reality. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David Hockney </b>is one of the world's most popular painters and the author of the bestselling <i>Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters </i>(2001). <b>Martin Gayford </b>is an art critic and the author of many books, including <i>Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud </i>(2013) and <i>Rendez-vous with Art</i>, with Philippe de Montebello (2014). <br>
