    <![CDATA[British painter David Hockney, well known for his cool and lovely paintings of California pools, has taken on the new role of detective. For two years Hockney seriously investigated the painting techniques of the old masters, and like any admirable sleuth, compiled substantial evidence to support his revolutionary theory. <em>Secret Knowledge</em> is the fruit of this labor, an exhaustive treatise in pictures revealing clues that some of the world's most famous painters, Ingres, Velázquez, Caravaggio (just to mention a few) utilized optics and lenses in creating their masterpieces. Hockney's fascination with the subject is contagious, and the book feels almost like a game with each analysis a &quot;How'd they do that?&quot; instead of a whodunit. While some may find the technical revelation a disappointment in terms of the idea of genius, Hockney is quick to point out that the use of optics does not diminish the immensity of artistic achievement. He reminds the reader that a tool is just a tool, and it is still the artist's hand and creative vision that produce a work of art. (296 pages, 460 illustrations, 402 in color.) <em>--J.P. Cohen</em> ]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>&quot;There is always, everywhere, an enormous amount of suffering, but I believe that my duty as an artist is to overcome and alleviate the sterility of despair...I do believe that painting can change the world.&quot; </em>&#151;David Hockney  <p>In this classic book, one of the most critically acclaimed and universally popular artists of modern times describes his life and work from the mid-1970s to the 1990s. David Hockney has forged a new way of seeing through an intense exploration of a variety of forms. Working in almost every medium&#151;painting, drawing, stage design, photography, and printmaking&#151;he has stretched the boundaries of all of them.   <p>Hockney has undertaken a singular and ambitious experiment with ways of seeing and ways of representing sight: ranging from his paintings, with their challenges to perspective and brilliant colors, to his vivid multidimensional photo-collages and his fax art, computer printings, and colored laser prints. Constantly questioning, seeking, taking nothing for granted, Hockney has in his own way transformed our understanding of how we perceive the world and how art can alter our vision.  <p>Interweaving detailed accounts of personal experience and artistic endeavor, Hockney has produced here one of the most revealing autobiographies ever of the modern artist. <em>That's the Way I See It</em> is a tour de force&#151;an unparalleled insight into one of the most original creative personalities of our age. 365 illustrations, 315 in color.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[David Hockney is one of Britain's best loved and most famous contemporary artists, a painter whose subject matter has often included his friends and everyday surroundings. In the 1980s, as a respite from increasingly frenetic activity in designing operas, experimenting with new techniques and media, helping organize retrospectives and breaking new ground in his paintings, Hockney began to paint and draw his companions, Stanley and Boodgie. Born from sharp observation, and affection, these delightful bravura paintings and drawings are not only a tribute to two dogs whose tranquil lives, like most, are dominated by food and love, but also masterful painterly depictions. A text by the artist himself gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how to work with models who don't necessarily want to sit still. Hockney has provided additional drawings made specially on the page, and has been largely involved in the layout of the book.]]>

    <![CDATA[ &quot;Ein Wunder, was für ein Realismus, welche Ähnlichkeit&quot;, so staunten die Zeitgenossen Raffaels über das Porträt von Papst Leo X. im Jahre 1516. Nicht nur das Gesicht des Papstes, auch sein Gewand und die Details sind außerordentlich realistisch und plastisch dargestellt. Wie war Raffael diese selten zuvor erreichte Ähnlichkeit gelungen? Hatte er sich ausschließlich auf sein Können und Augenmaß verlassen? Oder hatte er vielleicht Hilfsmittel dafür verwendet? Diese Fragen ließen den bekannten Pop-Art Künstler David Hockney nicht mehr los. Zwei Jahre lang untersuchte er zahlreiche Gemälde verschiedener Maler zwischen dem 15. und 19. Jahrhundert. Immer mehr gelangte er dabei zu der Gewißheit, dass Maler wie Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer oder <em>Caravaggio</em> Spiegel und Linsen für ihre künstlerische Tätigkeit verwendet hatten.<p>  <em>Geheimes Wissen</em> schildert, wie Hockney zu seinen spannenden Entdeckungen kam. Über hundert Werke aus unterschiedlichen Epochen stellt er hier einander gegenüber und zeigt Entwicklungen und Veränderungen in der Malweise von Gesichtern, Gewändern oder perspektivischen Räumen auf. Anhand der Beispiele erklärt er, warum er glaubt, dass zahlreiche dieser alten Gemälde keine Freihandskizzen als Grundlagen haben, sondern abgepauste Projektionen, die mit Hilfe von alten optischen Geräten wie der Camera lucida oder einfachen Spiegel-Linsen entstanden.<p>  Neben Hockneys ausführlichen Bildanalysen enthält der Band Textdokumente zur Funktionsweise optischer Projektionsinstrumente, sowie den Briefwechsel, den Hockney im Laufe dieser zwei Jahre mit verschiedenen Fachleuten und Experten geführt hat. Alle besprochenen Werke sind farbig in hervorragender Qualität abgebildet, häufig mit mehreren Detailansichten.  Ein Buch, das zum genauen Hinsehen verführt. Die Bilder der alten Meister werden zu geheimnisvollen Dokumenten ihrer Entstehungsgeschichte. Allerdings sollte man dabei nicht vergessen, dass eine Projektion allein noch kein Gemälde macht. <em>--Britta Müller</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The English artist David Hockney is known world-wide for his colorful and classically composed images of sunshine, swimming pools, and the good life in California, for his prolific and innovative theater designs, and for his frank depictions of homosexual life and domesticity in which, long before the era of gay liberation, he unabashedly proclaimed his own sexual identity. Kenneth Silver, Professor of Art History at New York University, charts Hockney's multifaceted career from his early work of the 1960s, poised between abstraction and pop art's revival of figuration, to his most recent excursions into the high-tech world of computers and new print technologies.<br/><br/>Also available in the Rizzoli Art Series:<br/><br/><em>Willem de Kooning </em>by David Cateforis<br/><em>Edward Hopper</em> by Karal Ann Marling<br/><em>Jasper Johns </em>by Roberta Bernstein<br/><em>Frida Kahlo</em> by Hayden Herrera<br/><em>Roy Lichtenstein</em> by Diane Waldman<br/><em>Henri Matisse </em>by Roger Benjamin<br/><em>Joan Miró </em>by Elizabeth Higdon<br/><em>Georgia O'Keeffe </em>by Barbara Buhler Lynes<br/><em>Pablo Picasso </em>by Josephine Withers<br/><em>Andy Warhol </em>by Jonathan Katz<br/>and many others.<br/>]]>
