Since he first painted a portrait at the age of 16, David Hockney has been fascinated by humans, the "human clay" as W. H. Auden put it, and how they have been represented throughout art history. In recent years, like other artists, he has embraced traditional portraiture, making it a central concern of his art.
This book introduces how Hockney has depicted the people around him, from celebrities like Andy Warhol, Christopher Isherwood, and W. H. Auden, to lifelong friends like Henry Geldzahler and Celia Birtwell, through a selection of works ranging from representative pieces to unpublished works.
And from intimate and moving studies of his parents and partners to recent large-scale double portraits in watercolor, it tells the story of the artist's relationships with his family, friends, and lovers.
It is a unique record of the life and love of one of the world's most famous artists, and at the same time, a valuable work that allows a glimpse into the moment where life and art meet.
