For six decades, David Hockney has captivated the art world with his innovative approach to capturing life's essence. This master of reinvention has left an indelible mark on modern art, from his cheeky text-infused works of the Swinging Sixties to his sun-drenched California pool scenes and vibrant Yorkshire landscapes. Hockney's insatiable curiosity has led him to experiment with myriad techniques, from traditional sketches to avant-garde Polaroid collages and cutting-edge iPad creations.
This special anniversary edition, culled from the expansive David Hockney: A Bigger Book, offers an intimate chronological journey through the artist's life and work. It's a riveting dialogue between Hockney's creations and the voices of his time, peppered with the artist's own reflections and critiques from his contemporaries. Lavishly illustrated with portraits and exhibition views, this tome peels back the layers of Hockney's artistic process, revealing the wellsprings of his inspiration and the evolution of his distinctive style.
From graphic design to landscape painting, from mastery of colour to exploration of perception, Hockney's six-decade odyssey is a testament to his enduring passion for visual storytelling. This meticulously curated volume invites readers to delve into the mind of a true artistic pioneer, page by captivating page.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
