Hockney On Photography

David Hockney is one of the worlds leading painters, yet it is his photographic and video work that is perhaps the most revolutionary. His solution to the fundamental problem of the static, one-point perspective of the camera lens, so very different from the way humans see the world, is at once simple and ingenious. In this video Hockney explains the inherent difficulties of photography and how he challenged them.

Always interesting and thought provoking listening to Mr H. Thanks.

Great reflections and interesting images as always - “drawing with a camera” really fun idea and the curiosity of playing with movement and perspective is really fun and making looking into something totally dynamic

I generally agree with you, especially your appraisal of landscape photographers. But with Hockney whilst I really enjoy looking at his paintings, I can’t help feeling confused by his photographs. Yes it’s clever the way the prints are arranged, but that’s about it. A single image or better still a painting would have worked just as well in most of these works. Visual communication is simple, and direct with the photographers you admire, Hockey’s work is anything but simple. The real master of this type of multiple imagery was Picasso.

what is the name of the collage with the standing figuere? I need it for an art project :)

Interesting stuff, but part of the magic of photography is that it freezes time. It can show you something you can't see.

Pedestrian would be a better epithet... this was already an established critique,John Hilliard is much more pertinent.... Painting cannot articulate the geological deeptime of the anthropocene and as for Islamic representational cultures? such as tessellation being a key influence on the renaissance humanism ?
