Zusammenfassung:This book celebrates how contemporary artists have responded in a host of ways to the National Gallery’s collection over the last 200 years. David Hockney is a constant reference point throughout. An exclusive interview between him and art critic Martin Gayford discusses artistic influence and the joy of looking longer at art. The book also explores the ways in which Hockney’s interactions with the Gallery have aided his development as a painter in groundbreaking ways. This is particularly evident in his longstanding creative engagement with Piero della Francesca’s The Baptism of Christ, a work that is depicted in two of his paintings. Other chapters celebrate the relationship that has existed between contemporary artists, the public and the National Gallery’s collection for two centuries. This includes the pioneering exhibition series The Artist’s Eye, in which artists, such as David Hockney, acted as curators to share the Gallery’s pictures in new ways with broad audiences
