Produced
in close collaboration with the artist, this is the first exhibition
devoted to David Hockney's portraits spanning over fifty years.
This celebrated artist has been engaged with portraiture since
his teenage years. Self-portraits and portraits of family, lovers,
friends and well-known subjects represent an intimate visual
diary of his life and artistic preoccupations.|
