A History of Pictures : From the Cave to the Computer Screen David Hockney & Martin Gayford -
, Abrams, 2020 Paperback, 370 pages, ENG. edition, 240 x 165 mm, NEW, richly illustrated in color / b/w. ISBN 9781419750281.
A compact edition of Hockney and Gayford?s brilliantly original book, with updated material and brand-new pieces of art Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing, and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made across the millennia. Juxtaposing a rich variety of images?a still from a Disney cartoon with a Japanese woodblock print by Hiroshige, a scene from an Eisenstein film with a Velazquez paint ing?the authors cross the normal boundaries between high culture and popular entertainment, and argue that film, photography, paint ing, and drawing are deeply interconnected. Featuring a revised final chapter with some of Hockney?s latest works, this new, compact edition of A History of Pictures remains a significant contribution to the discussion of how artists represent reality. David Hockney is one of the world?s most popular painters and the author of the bestselling Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters (2001). Martin Gayford is an art critic and the author of many books, including Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud (2013) and Rendez-vous with Art, with Philippe de Montebello (2014).

mannen van Michelangelo
, Hannibal, 2025 Hardcover, 29 x 24,5 cm, 288 pagina's, Nederlandstalige editie, Quadrichromie met prachtige illustraties. ISBN 9789464941968.
Het mannelijk lichaam door de ogen van Michelangelo: kunst, devotie en verlangen in een verbluffend meesterwerk De mannen van Michelangelo zijn wereldberoemd. Iedereen kent zijn David en zijn Schepping van Adam, midden op het plafond van de Sixtijnse Kapel. Zijn krachtige, gespierde naakten, nauwkeurige anatomische tekeningen en prachtige androgyne figuren hebben een onuitwisbaar stempel gedrukt op de kunstgeschiedenis. Met een frisse blik benaderen vooraanstaande internationale kunsthistorici Michelangelo's mannen van alle kanten. Wat was de invloed van klassieke beelden en waar kwam zijn belangstelling voor het neoplatonische ideaal van perfectie en schoonheid vandaan? Ontleedde hij zelf dode lichamen? Welke rol speelden modellen? En wat betekende het mannelijk lichaam voor hem persoonlijk, in zijn aanbidding van het lichaam van Christus en in zijn intieme vriendschappen met (jonge) mannen? Nooit eerder stond dat belangrijke aspect van zijn kunst op deze manier centraal. De uitzonderlijke kunstwerken van Michelangelo worden in al hun glorie getoond met vele detailopnamen, waardoor dit boek ook visueel een must-have is voor elke kunstliefhebber. Met tekstbijdragen van onder anderen Martin Gayford, Paul Joannides, Michael Rocke en Jennifer Sliwka. Publicatie bij de once in a lifetime-tentoonstelling met zo?n veertig werken van Michelangelo in Teylers Museum in Haarlem van 15 oktober 2025 tot 25 januari 2026.
Michelangelo and Men ? The Male Body in the Life and Work of Michelangelo
, Hannibal, 2025 Hardcover, 11.4 x 9.7 inches, 288 pages, English edition, four-color printing with beautiful illustrations. ISBN 9789464941975.
The male body through Michelangelo's eyes: art, devotion and desire in a stunning masterpiece Michelangelo?s men are world famous. Everyone knows his David and his The Creation of Adam at the centre of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. His powerful, muscular nudes, precise anatomical drawings and magnificent, androgynous figures left a profound mark on art history. In this book, leading international art historians look at Michelangelo?s men with fresh eyes and from every angle. How was he influenced by classical sculpture and what drew him to the Neoplatonic ideal of perfection and beauty? Did he dissect cadavers himself? What role did models play? And what did the male physique mean to him personally ? both in his veneration of Christ?s body and in his intimate friendships with other, frequently young men? This key aspect of his art has never before been placed centre stage. Michelangelo?s exceptional works are reproduced here in all their glory and with numerous details, making this book a visual must-have for every art lover. With contributions from, amongst others, Martin Gayford, Paul Joannides, Michael Rocke, and Jennifer Sliwka. Publication accompanying the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition featuring more than forty works by Michelangelo at Teylers Museum in Haarlem, The Netherlands, from 15 October 2025 to 25 January 2026..
Lucian Freud's Sketchbooks
, Yale, 2016 Hardcover, 108 pages, ENG, 230 x 230 x 19 mm, New edition, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780300223736.
This revelatory publication features a selection of beautifully reproduced images from the sketchbooks of Lucian Freud (1922-2011), one of the world?s greatest realist painters. Most of the sketches ? which include works in pencil, pastel, and watercolor from across the artist?s long career ? are published here for the first time. These fascinating images extend our understanding of Freud?s work and demonstrate the scrutiny he brought to his subjects. The sketchbooks, now in the archive of the National Portrait Gallery, London, include portraits of Freud?s family members, friends, and lovers. Designs for book covers, images of his beloved dogs and horses, landscapes, and interiors appear among nudes, still lifes, and several sketches that relate to major works. Around and between the drawings are Freud?s annotations and jottings ? appointments, racing tips, notes, musings ? which, with startling immediacy, provide a glimpse into the working life of one of the 20th century?s most important artists. The book includes an insightful essay by Martin Gayford, who sat for portraits by Freud and knew him well, and an illustrated chronology of the artist?s life. Published in association with the National Portrait Gallery, London
World According to David Hockney
London, Thames & Hudson, 2024 Illustrated hardcover, 176 pages, 17 x 12 cm, english text. *New. ISBN 9780500027042.
A collection of legendary British artist David Hockney?s insights into art, life, nature, creativity and much more. ?I?ve always been a looker ... that?s what artists do? This anthology of quotations by David Hockney follows in the successful format of ?The World According to? series. Ranging across topics including drawing, photography, nature, creativity, the internet and much more, The World According to David Hockney offers a delightful and engaging overview of the artist?s inimitable spirit, personality and opinions. From everyday observations ? ?The eye is always moving; if it isn?t moving you are dead? ? to artistic insights such as ?painted colour always will be better than printed colour, because it is the pigment itself?, as well as musings on other image makers, including Caravaggio, C zanne and Hokusai, Hockney has a knack for capturing profound truths in pithy statements. Born in Bradford, England, in 1937, Hockney attended art school in London before moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s. There, he painted his famous swimming pool paintings, and since then has embraced a range of media including photocollage, video and digital technologies. In a 2011 poll of more than 1,000 British artists, Hockney was voted the most influential British artist of all time. Presented as a beautifully designed and attractive package, illustrated with works of art from throughout Hockney's career, this is the perfect gift for art lovers everywhere.
