Hockney, David - Hockney, David: Pleasures of the Eye

This is a mid-1990's portrait of artist David Hockney, done by German journalist Gero von Boehm in connection with a 1995 London retrospective of Hockney's drawings. Hockney discusses several of his paintings and their creation in detail, and his experiments with photography including ink jet printing of his art. For photographers in particular, his discsussion of his Polaroid "joiner" art is especially of interest, although Polaroids have fallen by the wayside as digital capabilities progress. To get a timely continuum of Hockney and his art, I suggest also buying the DVD "A Bigger Picture" which updates Hockney's efforts through 2009, after he returns to his Yorkshire home from California to paint the countryside through the seasons in all weather. The two DVD's together provide a complete portrait of the progress and personality of Hockney, who has been called "...today's greatest living British-born artist."

Nice insight to David Hockney's work. Well priced and speedy delivery. Would recommend it to fellow artist friends. He really is some artist.

Anglo-amerikanisch ist die Handschrift seine Kunst. Nun er lebt einmal in England und einmal in den USA.Erfrischend, aber auch englisch ironisch - schreckt er auch nicht davor zurück, sich selbst zu kritisieren.Ein Kunstphilosoph. Eine absolut sehenswerte DVD.

dvd tres interressant je recommande

Weil ich im Gropius Bau Berlin die Sammlung Wirth sah und ihn da entdeckte. Ich war fasziniert und wollte mehr von ihm wissen. Und das gelang mit dieser DVD! Vielen Dank also! MfG G. Rtt.
