"Perhaps he would never again feel the passion he had felt for Peter, but there remained the perfection of friendship, the beauty of the cypress trees on the hills, and the joy that work brought. And if he forgot Peter, if he managed to live without him, wouldn't Peter come back? No one was attracted to sadness and melancholy. But cheerfulness, strength, and happiness, yes." Born in England in 1937, David Hockney shook up the art world with a vitality and freedom that no sorrow could diminish. Written with incisive prose by Catherine Cusset, this book recounts the saving power of creativity and paints a colorful portrait of the most famous living English painter.
"Peut-être n'éprouverait-il plus jamais de passion comme celle qu'il avait sentie pour Peter, mais il restait la perfection de l'amitié, la beauté des cyprès sur les collines et la joie que donnait le travail. Et s'il oubliait Peter, s'il réussissait à vivre sans lui, ce dernier ne reviendrait-il pas ? Personne n'était attiré par la tristesse et la mélancolie. Mais par la gaieté, la force, le bonheur, oui." Né en 1937 en Angleterre, David Hockney a secoué le monde de l'art avec une vitalité et une liberté qu'aucun chagrin n'a su entamer. Sous la plume incisive de Catherine Cusset, ce livre raconte la puissance salvatrice de la création et dresse un portrait haut en couleur du peintre anglais vivant le plus connu.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
