A compact edition of David Hockney and Martin Gayford's brilliant book, A History of Pictures: From the Cave to the Computer Screen features updated material and pieces of art original to this volume. Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing, and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made across the millennia.

Featuring a revised final chapter with additional works by Hockney, this compact edition of A History of Pictures remains a significant contribution to the discussion of how artists represent reality.
