A BIGGER MESSAGE - Conversations with DAVID HOCKNEY
Martin Gayford

Sparky, illuminating and entertaining: a decade and a half's worth of conversations between David Hockney and art critic Martin Gayford that explore via reflection, anecdote, passion and humour the very nature of creativity.

David Hockney is described as the world's most popular living painter. His exuberant work is highly praised and widely loved, but he is also something else: an incisive and original thinker on art.

In this remarkable book, a record of a decade and a half of • conversations with acclaimed art critic Martin Gayford, Hockney reveals via reflection, anecdote, passion and humour the fruits of kis lifelong meditations on the problems and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional world on a flat surface. How does drawing make one 'see things clearer, and clearer, and clearer still, as Hockney suggests? What is the relationship between the images we make and the reality around us? How can we enjoy to the full the simple pleasures of looking - at trees, or faces, or sunrises?

These conversations are punctuated by wise and witty observations from both parties on numerous other artists - Van Gogh or Vermeer, Caravaggio, Monet or Picasso - and enlivened by shrewd insights into some of the diverse people - from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Billy Wilder - Hockney has encountered along the way.

This updated and expanded edition follows the preparations for the successful A Bigger Picture' exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2012, the works done subsequently in Hockney's native Yorkshire and his return to Los Angeles in 2013. Visiting him there, Gayford depicts both the sitter's and the artist's world as he has his own portrait painted by the artist.

A unique and revealing portrayal of one of the most celebrated and influential British artists of all time, A Bigger Message is a fascinating exploration of the nature of creativity.
