'Paul Morley is my kind of critic.' - Grace Jones

From the swimming pools of Los Angeles to the hills of Yorkshire, from the bright light of California to the changing skies of Normandy, David Hockney spent a lifetime seeing the world differently. One of the most celebrated and influential artists of our age, Hockney continually reinvented both his art and himself. His paintings are among the most recognisable images in modern culture, yet the story of the places that shaped his imagination has never been told quite like this before.

In David Hockney: An Artist for Life, acclaimed writer Paul Morley takes us on a journey through the landscapes, cities and communities that inspired Hockney's remarkable career. Bradford, London, California, Yorkshire, France: each location reveals a different side of a restless, curious and endlessly innovative artist. More than a biography, this is a vivid exploration of creativity, freedom, identity and belonging. As Morley traces Hockney's rise from working-class Bradford to international fame, he shows how friendship, love, curiosity and place fuelled one of the most extraordinary artistic lives of the modern era.

Insightful, entertaining and rich in cultural history, David Hockney: An Artist for Life offers a fresh and captivating portrait of an artist who has never stopped looking, questioning and creating.©2026 Paul Morley (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Recensies van critici

[Morley] challenges the notion of Hockney as modern art's flashy entertainer and finds greater depth in the man and his work
Praise for Paul Morley

'Morley’s expansive present-tense prose flows […] I hold him to be one of the great pop writers.'
‘Morley has not only plenty of insights into Bowie’s life and work but also the kind of details that only a diligent biographer unearths’
Morley’s triumph is to know there is no such thing as the definitive story: new generations of fans will continue to make it up as they go along.’
