大卫·霍克尼的艺术家手账（口袋版）

当大卫·霍克尼发现iPhone可以作为一种艺术媒介时，这为他的艺术创作开辟了全新的可能。2009年春天，他创作了第一幅数字绘画，用粗犷的线条和绚丽的色彩直接在屏幕上描绘清晨的景致，屏幕所呈现的柔和色调如同纯粹光线未经调和的表达。到了2010年，霍克尼开始使用iPad进行创作，更大的屏幕丰富了他的艺术表现手法，让色彩、光线与线条之间能产生更为复杂的相互作用。

这本书中的每一幅图像，都捕捉了霍克尼在约克郡家中透过窗户看到的转瞬即逝的瞬间：从充满活力的日出、淡紫色的晨空，到宁静的夜景，再到春天的骤然降临。引人入胜的细节展现了窗玻璃上的水珠、夜晚远处的灯光、花瓶上的倒影，以及窗台上种类繁多的绿植。在2009至2012年间创作的120幅画作中（由艺术家本人挑选并编排），我们得以透过大卫·霍克尼的视角感受时光的流逝。

这本艺术家手账最初于2020年推出限量签名版，如今以经济实惠的口袋版再度面世。所以，现在正是听从《泰晤士报》评论家对这本书的建议的绝佳时机：“如果你想收到大卫·霍克尼送的一束花，这就是你的机会。”

David Hockney’s artist’s book in a pocket-sized edition

When David Hockney discovered the iPhone as an artistic medium, it opened up entirely new possibilities for his art. He made his first digital paintings in spring 2009, describing the morning landscape in broad lines and dazzling colors directly on a display that offered subtle hues as unmixed expressions of pure light. Then in 2010, Hockney started working with an iPad, and the larger screen expanded his artistic repertoire and enabled an even more complex interplay of color, light, and line.

Each image in this book captures a fleeting moment seen through a window in Hockney’s Yorkshire home: from vibrant sunrise and lilac morning sky to peaceful night-time impressions or the sudden arrival of spring. Fascinating details reveal drops on window panes, distant lights in the night, reflections on vases or an abundance of varied window-sill vegetation. In 120 paintings made between 2009 and 2012, selected and arranged by the artist himself, we experience the passage of time through the eyes of David Hockney.

This artist’s book, which first appeared in an exclusive signed edition in 2020, now returns in a wallet-friendly pocket edition. So now is the perfect occasion to heed the advice of the Times critic regarding this book: “If you would like to be given a bouquet by David Hockney, here is your chance.”
