DAVID HOCKNEY: DRAWING FROM LIFE by Sarah Howgate and Isabel Seligman (National Portrait Gallery £29.95, 208 pp)
As the first major exhibition of David Hockney drawings in over 20 years garners rave reviews at the National Portrait Gallery, those of you who can’t make the trip can indulge in this fabulous accompanying book.
Tracing his progress as an artist from his early work in the 1950s right up to the present, it focuses on portraits of a small group of his closest friends and sitters, and self-portraits — such as the one above.
He has had a remarkable career, which continues to inspire young artists today.
