David Hockney: An Artist For Life

An exploration of David Hockney’s story through the places that changed how he saw the world, from the swimming pools of California to the landscapes of Yorkshire, the light of southern France and the shifting seasons of Normandy.

This isn’t a standard artist biography. Paul Morley focuses on Hockney’s sense of place, tracing how his relationship with his surroundings helped shape his career and creative outlook.

It moves beyond Hockney the painter, considering him as a modernist, queer icon, experimentalist and pioneer of digital art. Paul Morley, one of the UK’s finest music journalists and broadcasters since the late 1970s, wrote for the NME for almost a decade and has also written for the Guardian and Telegraph.
