David Hockney 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Painting • Show News • Art For

[bernard]

I was at a Hockney exhibition many many many years back, i was lifted by his art and the simplistic way he executed the works, even the colours seemed somehow to lighten the whole place up, he was there himself but was talking to a lot of people and in any case i would have been far too shy to even say hello, i was so influenced by this event that i rushed out soon after and bought a Sausage Dog.

Hockney is a genius IMHO. His draughtsmanship on the pivotal LA works, freedom of hand on pen/ink drawings, his portraits, his constant study and re-evaluation of perspective, his ever changing output, his exploration of not only photography but working with new technologies (check out his ipad sketches) all point to a great visionary and free thinker.
Anyone who gets the chance should visit the permanent exhibition(s) at Salts Mill in Saltaire, near Bradford (Hockney's home town). A terrific experience.
Not expecting everyone to agree with me, miind... and it's only an opinion.

Thought the list was not really that accurate of the most influential. However whiter DH should be number 1,2,3 or whatever one cannot but appreciate his contribution and should def be there.

Cannot believe Hirst not being on there he has created more tabloid stories and boll*€ks than anyone. So really should be there as a side from his art also really represents a very British art time and movement that clashed with the music of that period etc.

So for me this really is a big error of the list. Others I kind of accept the should he/she be on it but just look at Hirsts own mega auction etc.

Regardless of whether people do or do not like his art he really has probably had a bigger effect on the countries view of art than anyone else including Mr B

I have a fun story about David Hockney. When he was younger he lived in the same building as my girlfriends granparents. When David moved onto brighter pastures he left hundreds of his paintings and scribbles in the building - many of them featuring my gf's mum. Grandad hated them with a vengeance (im not sure how notorious David was at the time - but it probably wouldn't have made a difference knowing how stubborn he is).. so he chucked them all in a skip and they were gone forever - unless there happened to be any art savvy opportunist trash men about at the time. Tragic

Highly unlikely I think. Hockney is gay.

[maumau93]

allot of gay men i know have dipped their pen in the other ink

[Hubble Bubble]

^^ True, Five. Maybe Hockney had a 'pink period'

[Hubble Bubble]

^^^ or he might have nailed the gf's dad?

Sort of is the answer. Enitharmon are releasing this

www.enitharmon.co.uk/pages/store/products/ec_view.asp?PID=551

[Pattycakes]

Moving focus is a series from the 80's. So no they are not releasing them, it's a secondary market show

[Rsyok]

The Alan Cristea show looks like secondary market show.. prints from the '80's.
I asked RA before Christmas and no edition via them. Its a shame
Annely Juda fine art have some digital large scale editions for approx the price of 2 good signed Banksy's.

or the ebay community seem to be re-selling postcards from the Radio Times.

edit too slow for the Guru ^

[HRE]

Thats a missed opportunity with RA as im sure that there will be some brilliant work on show.
I hope that someone does some prints form the show

[dotdot]

I'm sure something will appear but at what price is anyone's guess.. let's just say not cheap

something for the first part of this year which will be hard to top.

..think i'll be there a few times during the run... it's moving around post londres btw.

then to spain then germany.

keep this frequency clear (re print work) !

anyone have brushes on their ipad ? (any good... )

..

[hanky]

Advance tickets for Jan and Feb now sold out!!

[spencerlee]

This reminds me, I inherited a Hockney print I need to reframe...
