David Hockney est un des artistes contemporains les plus fascinants ! Mondialement connu pour ses pool paintings, il produit dès les années 1960 une oeuvre solaire et hédoniste, à la croisée du pop art et de l'hyperréalisme. Intéressé par tous les procédés de fabrication de l'image, l'artiste britannique utilise la technologie et joue avec la perspective pour renouveler en profondeur les codes de la représentation. Au fil de bulles hautes en couleurs, voici retracés le parcours d'un génie et la genèse d'une oeuvre fascinante !

Follow the journey of David Hockney's exceptional life in a unique graphic novel format.
From his childhood in Bradford and early years making it as an artist, to his sun-drenched Los Angeles period, his triumphal return to the UK and his recent iPad drawings that proudly exclaim that 'spring cannot be cancelled', this charming biography traces the captivating life and times of David Hockney. Drawn entirely on an iPad in a fun, fully illustrated style - and in homage to Hockney's own iPad drawings - this is a colourful, thought-provoking and joyous story of one of the world's best-loved artists. -
Génie mondialement reconnu, Van Gogh continue de fasciner par son oeuvre et sa vie d'artiste maudit. Sa vie fulgurante et courte, ses émois, ses amours et son art, rien n'est caché dans cet ouvrage graphique. Les dessins de Simon Elliott, tantôt éclatants, tantôt sombres révèlent les émotions mouvantes et vives de cet artiste incompris par son époque, qui a révolutionné l'art par son originalité et sa personnalité torturée.

'I know for sure that I have an instinct for colour, and painting is in the very marrow of my bones'
The life of Van Gogh has gone down in legend as the archetypal artist's existence. He was irascible and short-tempered, hugely passionate and emotional, absurdly talented and, for most of his lifetime, notoriously misunderstood and under-appreciated. And yet today, we see him as one of the most inventive, influential and admired painters of the entire Western canon, if not a genius.
Taking us through his short but explosive life, this graphic novel paints a vivid picture of Van Gogh's unusual youth, his famous early failures, his discovery of a new style of painting, his tragic suicide, and the meteoric artistic legacy that followed.
For those looking for an introduction to this incredible artist, or searching for a fresh take on his story - this is Vincent Van Gogh's life as you've never seen it before.
