Conversations with trees

If you go to the Royal Academy to see the Hockney exhibition this winter, you’ll find a little corner of paradise: huge colourful landscapes with trees - and hopefully you’ll go back to the streets of grey London a little happier.
The book that accompanies the exhibition “Conversations avec David Hockney” - conversations between David Hockney and the art critic Martin Gayford - is an easy-going ramble, with unexpected turns, about painting, photography, film, drawing on the ipad and the mystery of trees.
Other books by David Hockney unveil the secrets of the old masters, and the secrets of his art and success.
Product Description: In this remarkable book, a record of a decade of private conversations with art critic Martin Gayford, David Hockney reveals via reflection, anecdote, passion and humour the fruits of his lifelong meditations on the problems and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional world on a flat surface. These conversations are punctuated by wise and witty observations from both parties on numerous other artists, and enlivened by shrewd insights into the contrasting social and physical landscapes of California, where Hockney spent so many years, and Yorkshire, the birthplace to which he has returned. Some of the diverse people he has encountered along the way from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Billy Wilder make entertaining entries into the dialogue.
