DAVID HOCKNEY ON PHOTOGRAPHY

David Hockney: On photography

9782868821539

On Photography is an essential work by David Hockney, the world-renowned artist, who here explores the limitations of photography as a tool for representing reality. Taken from a lecture delivered in London in 1982, this fascinating text challenges the fixed, monocular vision imposed by the camera in favor of a freer perception that is more faithful to our visual experience.

Description

David Hockney's On Photography brings together several texts in which the artist explores photography as an art far more complex than a simple reproduction of reality. Through personal reflections on his own works, including those exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, he unveils his innovative approach, based on the layering of images and the deconstruction of the gaze. Drawing also from excerpts of Secret knowledge, he reveals that the old masters used optical techniques to create perspective. The book questions the traditional conception of the image, inviting the reader to rediscover photography as a dynamic space for creation and visual reinvention.
