Secret Knowledge Lost Techniques

Secret Knowledge by David Hockney

Secret Knowledge - Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the old masters. In this facinating book, David Hockney is gripped by a desire to find out how the artists of the past had managed to depict the world around them so accurately and vividly. As a painter constantly faced with similar technical problems, he asked himself: How did they do this? For the next two years, he sacrificed his own time as obsessively tracking down hidden secrets of the old masters. 460 illustrations, 402 in colour. 296 pages. Paperback
