‎Stephen Spender, David Hockney - China Diary ‎

‎, Harry N. Abrams Publishers, New York 1982, 1982 Hardcover, 200 pages, English, 260 x 200 mm, in very fine condition, with illustrations in colour and b/w, . ISBN 9780810907836.‎

‎Stephen Spender and David Hockney's illustrated diary of the trip they took together to China takes in not just the famous sites - the Great Wall, the Temple of the jade Buddha, the magical landscape of Kweilin but the unexpected incidents of everyday Chinese life. And both discuss their meetings with contemporary Chinese poets and painters. Hockney's photographs, drawings and watercolours are a unique revelation of China, while Spender discourses in rich prose. Together they provide a glimpse of this ever-mysterious land.‎
