In this lecture on David Hockney, Barry Heinrichs will tell you all about it in preparation for a visit to the 'Hockney's Eye' exhibition at Teylers Museum. British artist David Hockney (born 1937) is one of the world's best-known and best-loved artists. He is wildly popular with his large, colourful works. Looking at Hockney's colourful paintings, it is easy to guess that Vincent van Gogh is a great source of inspiration. This autumn, Teylers Museum is showing the exhibition 'Hockney's Eye', which features works by Hockney in direct dialogue with drawings, paintings and natural objects. Get to know Hockney's idiosyncratic theories on perspective and the use of optical aids. Look at art history through Hockney's eyes. In a lecture, Barry Heinrichs will tell you everything you need to know about Hockney's work and about the exhibition specifically in preparation for a visit.
