David Hockney: Cameraworks, first U.S. edition, signed by Hockney

Hockney, David.  Cameraworks

“It takes time to see these pictures—you can look at them for a long time, they invite that sort of looking.  But, more importantly, I realized that this sort of picture came closer to how we actually see, which is to say, not all-at-once but rather in discrete, separate glimpses which we then build up into our continuous experience of the world.” –David Hockney on his collage technique
