In addition to being an important contributor to the Pop art movement of the 1960s, he is also renowned as a printmaker, stage designer and photographer. In 1964, Hockney moved to Los Angeles, where, famously, he was inspired to make a series of vibrantly colored paintings of swimming pools in the comparatively new acrylic medium.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume brings together conversations held between this art-world icon and preeminent curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, which began with their first meeting in 2006 at Hockney's London studio. Exploring the artist's dedicated and prolific practice, his friendships with Andy Warhol and Francis Bacon, fervent preoccupation with painting nature, ruminations on new technologies and his love of smoking, Hockney's musings are as bold and varied as his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Hockney Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e is a hardback reading book and intimate portrait of one of the world's most distinguished living artists, fully illustrated with artworks spanning the breadth of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Heni Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51254089744658,"sku":"9781911736134","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_aad9ad95-d80b-45a3-bd12-3bfd415b627e.jpg?v=1746307116","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-hockney-interviews-9781911736134","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
