Η ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ ΤΩΝ ΕΙΚΟΝΩΝ ΓΙΑ ΠΑΙΔΙΑ
"Η ιστορία των εικόνων αρχίζει στα σπήλαια και τελειώνει, προς το παρόν, με ένα iPad. Ποιος ξέρει τι θα ακολουθήσει.;" (Ντέηβιντ Χόκνεϊ) Παρέα με τον Ντέηβιντ Χόκνεϊ, τον Μάρτιν Γκέιφορντ και την εικονογράφο Ρόουζ Μπλέικ, θα κάνεις ένα ταξίδι στην ιστορία των εικόνων. Θα ανακαλύψεις μαζί τους μια εκπληκτική σειρά από έργα τέχνης: σε τοίχους σπηλαίων, φορητούς υπολογιστές, τηλέφωνα, σε περιοδικά, εφημερίδες, βιντεοπαιχνίδια και σε βιβλία. Θα συναντήσεις επίσης τους καλλιτέχνες που τα έφτιαξαν, όπως τον Βαν Γκογκ, που εικονίζεται παρακάτω. ...

(P/B) SPRING CANNOT BE CANCELLED
An uplifting manifesto that affirms art's capacity to divert and inspire, Spring Cannot be Cancelled draws on a wealth of conversations and correspondence between David Hockney and art critic Martin Gayford, in which the artist reflects upon life as he self-isolates in rural France. Their exchanges span nature, food, art, opera, fairy tales and more, and are illustrated by a selection of Hockney's Normandy iPad drawings and paintings alongside works by other artists, including van Gogh, Monet and Bruegel. We see how Hockney is propelled ev...

(P/B) SECRET KNOWLEDGE
David Hockney takes us on an enthralling intellectual and visual journey as he rewrites the story of how the great drawings and paintings of the last six centuries were created. He demonstrates for the first time how artists as far back as the 15th century used mirrors and lenses to project colour images onto flat surfaces and then captured these projections in pencil and paint. As well as being the presentation of more than two years' research, Secret Knowledge is an amazing detective story, as Hockney uncovers piece after piece of scient...

(P/B) DAVID HOCKNEY'S DOG DAYS

(H/B) SIX FAIRY TALES FROM THE BROTHERS GRIMM
The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm according to David Hockney RA are like no other version you will have read before. Although inspired by earlier illustrators of the tales, from Arthur Rackham to Edmund Dulac, Hockney's extraordinary etchings re-imagine these strange and supernatural stories for a modern audience, capturing their distinctive atmosphere in a style that is recognisably the artist's own. Reprinted here for the first time since its original publication in 1969, Hockney's book brings together some well-known tales - Rapunze...

A new, compact edition of David Hockney and Martin Gayford's brilliantly original book, with a revised final chapter and three entirely new Hockney artworks Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with the art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made across the millennia.

(H/B) SPRING CANNOT BE CANCELLED
On turning eighty, David Hockney sought out rustic tranquility for the first time: a place to watch the sunset and the change of the seasons; a place to live a life of simple pleasures, undisturbed and undistracted; a place to keep the madness of the world at bay. So when Covid-19 and lockdown struck, it made little difference to life at La Grande Cour, the centuries-old Normandy farmhouse where Hockney set up a studio a year before, in time to paint the arrival of spring. In fact, he relished the enforced isolation as an opportunity for e...

(H/B) A HISTORY OF PICTURES
"The history of pictures begins in the caves and ends, at the moment, with the computer screen. Who knows where it will go next? But one thing is certain, the challenge remains the same: how do you represent the three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface?"(David Hockney) Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing and making images with cameras, Hockney, in collaboration with the art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made. What makes marks on a flat surface interesting? How do you show m...

(P/B) THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT
In this extraordinary book, perhaps the most critically acclaimed and universally popular artist of our time describes in his own words his life and work since the mid-1970s. David Hockney has forged a new way of seeing through an intense exploration of a variety of forms: ranging from his paintings, with their challenges to perspective and brilliant colours, to his vivid multi-dimensional photo-collages and his fax art, computer printings and coloured laser prints. Constantly questioning, seeking, taking nothing for granted, Hockney has ...

ΛΕΞΕΙΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΙΚΟΝΕΣ

ΜΙΑ ΓΡΑΜΜΗ. . . ΔΙΗΓΕΙΤΑΙ
(. . .) Κάθε γραμμή μπορεί να διηγηθεί μια ιστορία. Το ίχνος που αφήνει η πένα, η μύτη του μολυβιού ή το κάρβουνο στο χαρτί δημιουργεί ιδιαίτερα εκφραστικές φόρμες. Μία γραμμή μπορεί να "μιλήσει" αν κάποιος τη χαράξει σε μία πλάκα και έπειτα την τυπώσει με μελάνι στο χαρτί. Η χαρακτική είναι μία ενδιαφέρουσα, όσο και οικονομική λύση γιατί ξανατυπώνοντας την ίδια πλάκα το έργο φθάνει σε πολλούς αποδέκτες. (. . .) (ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΠΑΡΟΥΣΙΑΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΚΔΟΣΗΣ)...
