Publisher's Synopsis
There has been a resurgence of interest in figuration internationally since the 1950s, and it has continued to grow with particular conviction in the UK. Marco Livingstone's fascinating new survey charts the evolution of figure drawing in Britain in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, from Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach to Tracey Emin and Chris Ofili, via the work of the artist he considers the greatest draughtsman of the human form working in Britain now: David Hockney.
