David Hockney is one of the most influential British artists of the twentieth century. He has produced work in almost every medium - painting, drawing, stage design, photography, printmaking and stained glass - and has stretched the boundaries of all of them. His groundbreaking Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters is published by Thames & Hudson, as are his books in partnership with Martin Gayford: A Bigger Message (2011), A History of Pictures (2016) and Spring Cannot be Cancelled (2021). He continues to create and exhibit art, and to inspire enormous affection and admiration worldwide.
