霍克尼纸本作品史上最大型的展览。

英国艺术家大卫·霍克尼 （David Hockney） 以其独特的绘画而闻名，主要是肖像画和风景画，但也以其纸上作品和版画的方法而闻名，这反映了他更广泛的作品中所看到的活力和勤奋的索引。霍克尼的版画经常展示色彩、形式和透视的动态相互作用，反映了他对自己生活中私密元素的视觉叙事的敏锐眼光。在他的整个职业生涯中，他尝试了各种版画技术，包括蚀刻、平版印刷、丝网印刷和最近的 iPad，每一种方法都揭示了他对媒介的勤奋——用他自己的话来说，从未经历过“失败的感觉。“ 与他的大部分作品一样，霍克尼的版画借鉴了对古典大师绘画光学设备的广泛艺术史研究。

本卷收集了 Hockey 六十多年的作品中的版画和其他纸上作品。他的视觉实验，结果总是令人惊讶，暗示着丰富的内部和外部生活，以讲述的点点滴滴和片段来捕捉，暗示着日常场景的蒙太奇。标题《Paper Trails》呼应了 Peter Bürger关于视觉艺术与“生活实践”关系的著作。“

The largest-ever display of Hockney’s paper-based works

British artist David Hockney is renowned for his distinctive paintings, mostly portraiture and landscape, but also for his approach to works on paper and printmaking, which mirrors the vibrancy and diligent indexing seen in his broader body of work. Hockney’s prints often showcase a dynamic interplay of color, form and perspective, reflecting his keen eye for visual storytelling of intimate elements of his own life. Throughout his career he has experimented with various printmaking techniques, including etching, lithography, screenprinting and more recently iPads, each method revealing his diligence in manipulating the medium―without ever experiencing, in his own words, “a feeling of failure.” Like much of his oeuvre, Hockney’s prints draw from extensive art historical study of the optical devices of Old Master paintings.

This volume gathers Hockey’s prints and other works on paper from his over six decades of output. His visual experiments, always surprising in their outcomes, suggest a rich interior and exterior life, captured in telling bits and fragments, suggesting a montage of quotidian scenes. The title, Paper Trails, echoes Peter Bürger’s writings on visual art’s relationship with the “praxis of life.”
