Drawing Master

The collection of essays and reviews published between 1990 and 2020 celebrates the life work of Britain's pre-eminent artist David Hockney (born Bradford 1937). The compendium ranges from a study of his printmaking by author Marina Vaizey, first published in the quarterly review, Cv Journal of Art and Crafts 3/2 June 1990, to a major exhibition 'A Bigger Picture' on the theme of the East Yorkshire Landscape staged at the Royal Academy in 2012. Renowned author, poet and art historian Edward Lucie-Smith considers the artist's presentation of 'Eighty Two portraits and One Still Life', exhibited at the Royal Academ in 2016, while Cv editor Nicholas James reviews 'Drawn From Life', a survey Hockney drawings exhibited at at the National Portrait Gallery London 2020.
