A Bigger Message
Conversations with David Hockney
A unique and fascinating self-portrait of one of the most celebrated and influential British artists of all time, A Bigger Message is destined to become a classic. Sparky, illuminating and entertaining – a decade’s worth of conversations between David Hockney and art critic Martin Gayford that explore via anecdote, reflection, passion and humour the very nature of creativity.

‘I devoured this from cover to cover and can highly recommend it, because much like Gayford’s other recent book on Lucian Freud (Man with a Blue Scarf) the conversational flow leads the reader to many other ideas around and beyond its subject’ – The Bookseller
