Author: David Hockney

A beautiful, intimate and rather hard-to-get-hold-of facsimile of one of David Hockney's sketchbooks, Martha's Vineyard was printed in 1985 and is complete with all manner of beautiful images of people and places, plus the odd doodled phone number and diary date! The images in the photos are just a small selection of the contents. 

In 'Martha's Vineyard' David Hockney writes about his post-polaroid work, when he returned to the methods instilled in him from his training at Bradford School of Art: never be without a sketchbook, always use it, and always keep it.

The text is edited by Nikos Stangos, who writes "There is no limit to the delight created by an artist's exuberance; it gives us the pleasure of seeing what is in front of our eyes as if for the first time. A sketchbook may hold even greater delights,because it reveals the artist's mind and eye at work without deliberation as to the final result or self-consciousness." 

Our stock is sold as new - that's to say although this book was printed in 1985, it has not been pre-owned and is not on the secondary market. 

Hockney's sketches, discussed in the accompanying softback text, are entitled:
