David Hockney argues that a picture is the only way to give an account of what we see, and that every picture-maker faces the same problem: compressing three-dimensional people, things and places onto a flat surface. With the art critic Martin Gayford he looks at pictures made by brush, camera or digital program, on cave walls and computer screens, and argues that film, photography, painting and drawing are deeply interconnected.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
