Résumé:
In recent years renowned artist David Hockney has returned to England to paint the landscape of his childhood in East Yorkshire. Although his passionate interest in new technologies has led him to develop a virtuosic drawing technique on the iPad, he has also traveled outdoors with a traditional sketchbook, an invaluable tool as he works quickly to capture the changing light and fleeting effects of the weather. Executed in watercolor and ink, these panoramic scenes have the spatial complexity of finished paintings - the broad sweep of sky or road, the patchwork tapestry of land - yet convey the immediacy of Hockney's impressions. For those who know the East Yorkshire Wolds, the location of the sketches is unmistakable; for those who don't, its features will come to life in these pages.

Résumé:
Reprinted for the first time since its original publication in 1969, David Hockney's illustrations for the tales of the Brothers Grimm are like no other version. Although inspired by earlier illustrators of the tales, including Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, Hockney's extraordinary etchings reimagine these strange and supernatural stories for a modern audience, capturing their distinctive atmosphere in a style that is recognizably the artist's own. Hockney's book brings together some well-known tales, such as Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin, with others that are less familiar, like Old Rinkrank.

Résumé:
''Une histoire des images pour les enfants'' fait voyager ses lecteurs à travers l'histoire de l'art : depuis les peintures retrouvées sur les parois des grottes préhistoriques, jusqu'aux images que nous créons aujourd'hui grâce à nos ordinateurs et téléphones portables. Inspirée du best-seller ''Une histoire des images'', cette version destinée aux enfants est racontée par le biais de conversations entre l'artiste David Hockney et l'auteur Martin Gayford. Ils nous parlent d'art avec une simplicité et une clarté stimulantes. Les illustrations de Rose Blake accompagnent les reproductions d'œuvres d'art pour une maquette dynamique et fourmillante de détails à observer.
