Summary: In 1954 a sixteen-year-old student at the Bradford College of Art opted to study lithography as part of the National Diploma in Design. His first effort, a small self-portrait printed in only a handful of impressions, marks the beginning of one of the longest and most diverse careers in modern printmaking. By turns traditional and groundbreaking, over six decades David Hockney has created graphic works of great wit, beauty and intellectual complexity. "Hockney, Printmaker" features over 150 works, from etchings executed at the Royal College of Art in the 1960s, to experiments with printed computer drawings some fifty years later, via portrait, pools, poetry, Xeroxes and investigations into multi-point perspective.

Catalog of an exhibition held at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, February 5-May 11, 2014.

Includes bibliographical references (page 157) and index.
