From the 1950s on, Hockney's most persistent subject matter, in paintings, drawings, collages and photoworks, has been of people usually very close to him, as well as of himself. These works are narratives of autobiographical relationships: they reflect the intimate and often intense stories of this artist's life.\r\n\r\n They also explore different formal ways of representing the passage of time and at the same time the unavoidable but marvellous stillness of portraits.    The works include fascinating sequences as he paints his mother or Henry Geldzahler or Celia Birtwell on and off for decades  the special qualities attached to depictions of lovers  and the range of celebrities, writers and artists - Billy Wilder, Armistead Maupin, W.H. Auden, Henry Moore, Christopher Isherwood - who have been part of a very full life.\r\n\r\n The text by a distinguished European critic and curator reinforces the point that this hugely popular English-born artist, who made America his second home, has become a figure of worldwide appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
