David Hockney By David Hockney;

In this witty, candid, and revealing account of himself, which is in the tradition of Cellini's Autobiography, Hockney tells of his early years in art school; his studies at the Royal College of Art in London, during which he first came to public attention; his sojourn in California, which inspired his best-known paintings, drawings and prints; and his present phase in Paris, where he now lives. Almost all of Hockney's paintings and graphic works to date, as well as many of his drawings are reproduced here. 434 illustrations including 60 plates in full color.
