David Hockney: Drawing From Life

Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London, 27 February - 28 June 2020 (interrupted);
then 2 November 2023 - 21 January 2024

This book, which accompanies the first major exhibition devoted to David Hockney's (1937-) drawings in over 20 years, explores the artist as a draughtsman from the 1950s to now, with a focus on himself, his family and friends. From Ingres to the iPad, this book demonstrates the artist's ingenuity in portrait drawing with reference to both tradition and technology.
