David Hockney Normandy Portraits accompanies a major exhibition on David Hockney at the National Portrait Gallery London. It reveals new portraits painted in Hockneys Normandy Studio between 2020 and 2022. David Hockney Normandy Portraits illustrates around 40 acrylic on canvas works painted by Hockney at his Normandy studio depicting his friends and visitors including his partner JP popstar sensation Harry Styles and the artist himself. This imageled book product will showcase a series of some previously unseen portraits through 48 pages uninterrupted by text to allow readers to engage directly with the artworks that will be on display at the National Portrait Gallery as well as some added exclusives. These works highlight the ongoing importance of portraiture within the artists practice and demonstrate his sentiment that drawings and paintings ... are a lot better than photographs to give you a sense of the person. Hockney returned to painting after an intensive period spent depicting the Normandy landscape using an iPad. The portraits were painted quickly and directly onto the canvas without under drawing. As Hockney has said to do a portrait slowly is a bit of a contradiction.
