David Hockney - Artist

Product Desciption
"David Hockney is one of the greatest figures in modern art, and the best known British artist of his generation. This highly original film by director Jack Hazan (The Clash: Rude Boy), is a mesmerising reconstruction of Hockneys life portrayed in the moods, colors and tones of his paintings and follows the artist s break-up with fellow painter Peter Schlesinger. The former lovers star as themselves, as do many of the subjects of Hockney s paintings including his muse, iconic textile designer Celia Birtwell. Offering a swirling view of the 1970s London art scene - this visual recreation of the paintings that made him famous captures the essence of both the artist and the era and is an invaluable cinematic record for the Hockney archives."
