David Hockney: Dessins Et Gravures. Galerie Claude Bernard, Paris 1975.
Catalogue of David Hockney’s exhibition held at the Galerie Claude Bernard, Paris, 15 April - 24 May, 1975. With a long introductory essay “Le portrait de l'artiste en jeune homme” in French printed in mauve on delicate tissue by the French historian and essayist Marc Fumaroli (1932-2020).
“I lived in Paris for two years from 1973 to 1975. The Left Bank was still cheap. I worked in one big room, with two little bedrooms off it. I liked it because I could walk into a café and there were always people you knew, and the great thing was that if you got fed up with it you could just get up and go. I like people, but because I lived in the centre, people started coming round to see me; and when they arrived at 3:30 in the afternoon and were still there at midnight, I realised that l couldn't work there. I decided to leave one day, packed up the next.”– David Hockney via davidhockneyfoundation.org
Following the opening of his Paris show in April 1975, Hockney spent part of that summer on Fire Island with Henry Geldzahler. He returned to Paris briefly but by November had returned to London to live and work again in Pembroke Gardens: "Not too many people knew | was there. Each time you move back you have a nice period when it's quiet, the phone doesn't ring much, you can get on with work and see only a few friends .... I started feeling much better."– David Hockney via davidhockneyfoundation.org
