"I think the way I draw, the more I know and react to people, the more interesting the drawings will be." First US edition monograph on the British pop artist’s drawings. Hailed as a "supreme draftsman," Hockney is known for his precise lines and sense of spontaneity in portraits, landscapes, and everyday scenes. Published two years after his landmark retrospective at the Whitehall Chapel gallery in London, this catalog comprises 72 drawings chosen by Hockney, including depictions of his friends and loved ones such as his muse Celia Birtwell, artist Richard Hamilton, curator Henry Geldzahler, and writer Christopher Isherwood, his signature swimming pools, and numerous still lifes (flowers, gardens, trees, hotel rooms, etc.) Illustrated with 64 plates in black-and-white and 10 in color.
