This master, whose modernity is expressed well before the term, a pioneer more than a contemporary, uses drawing to transcribe his vision of the world around him but also to prepare his paintings.
An admirer fascinated by the great classic names like Ingres in his portraits of the ‘70s and to Picasso in his cubist representations of the ‘80s, David Hockney made his important contribution to the Pop Art movement of the ‘60s. On the other hand, in recent years he has returned to Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
Ingenious as well as brilliant, this unique creator presents the introspection of his sensitive soul through an intimate journey to the rhythm of the years and the canvases.
This eternal young man of almost 83 years is decidedly terribly refreshing...
