Rough tranlation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe world is so beautiful when it\u2019s seen clearly, and yet most people don\u2019t try to see clearly. Isn\u2019t that the truth? Not me though- I\u2019,m seeing as hard as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To \u201csee\u201d and how to illustrate are the core concepts found in Hockney\u2019s works. His name is synonymous with big-time pop artists like Andy Warhol these days. However, there is a logical approach in his works, even publishing \u201cSecret Knowledge\u201d, a book exploring different techniques to construct and challenge the possibilities of creating art through the lens of technological advancements (like optical instruments). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His 1972 work \u201cPortrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)<\/em>\u201d that was sold for $90 million in 2018 became sensational news, but he was ahead of his time. The paint used was acrylic, something that was developed just shortly before the portrait came out. In the 80\u2019s, he used photo collages and CG, Fax machines, and other electronics- and now, is creating his works through different mediums like dashcams and iPads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his 2017 book, \u201cA History of Pictures: From the Cave to the Computer Screen\u201d, he identifies art and photography as a flat \u201cimage\u201d and classifies them both as such. He dives into cave paintings and its history, and incorporates its core components into his current workflow of iPad illustrations as an extension of it. With that in mind, how does he incorporate the iPad in what he deems to be the technological pinnacle of art? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hockney first grabbed an iPad in 2010, and started drawing on it using the app \u201cBrushes\u201d. This was a direct upgrade for him, as he was drawing on his iPhone at the time. Attracted to how \u201cfast\u201d he can draw the instances he saw around him, he saw digital devices as a perfect median in capturing the moment around him, fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, note that Hockney actually uses his own special version of \u201cBrushes\u201d  later built by the team at Envoza, and uses that instead. However, the core components can be used even with just the \u201cNotes\u201d app installed by default on all iPads. All we need is a device and an Apple pencil to be on par with one of the greatest artists of our generation. 

\u201cThat\u2019s it?\u201d you might be wondering- but worry not, let\u2019s get back into reality by seeing Hockney\u2019s works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
