Description

China Diary Stephen Spender David Hockney is a  stunning collaboration between one of the 20th century’s most celebrated painters and an iconic poet. China Diary records the 1981 journey of David Hockney and Stephen Spender through Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing, and Hangzhou. It features 158 illustrations, including 70 in full color, ranging from vibrant watercolors to intimate sketches.
Karin’s Choice: This is a visual and literary masterpiece. David Hockney’s vibrant sketches and Stephen Spender’s prose capture a China that was just beginning to open up to the West in the early 80s. It’s a fascinating ‘Treasure’—the colors are as bright as the day it was printed, making it a centerpiece for any art lover’s library. Kindly note that the price is negotioble.
