True to Life by Lawrence Weschler
Chronicles David Hockney's protean production and speculations, including his scenic designs for opera, his homemade xerographic prints, his exploration of physics in relation to Chinese landscape painting, his investigations into optical devices, his taking up of watercolor - and then his return to oil painting, around 2005.
"Aside from being a terrific writer, Weschler is clearly a great listener and interviewer" -- Robert L. Pincus San Diego Union-Tribune "Weschler rewards his readers with lengthy quotes, an overwhelming wealth of knowledge and a lively narrative style." (Starred Review) Publishers Weekly "'Seeing Is Forgetting' and 'True to Life' are not only about the artists talking to Weschler or, through him, to each other; they're about the artists talking to themselves." -- David Ulin Salt Lake Tribune "'Seeing Is Forgetting' and 'True to Life' are not only about the artists talking to Weschler or, through him, to each other; they're about the artists talking to themselves." -- David Ulin Los Angeles Times Book Review
