Biography: arts & entertainment

'Never Worry What the Neighbours Think'was the philosophy that Kenneth Hockney used to inspire his children

David, one of the world's greatest living artists, and siblings John, Paul, Philip, and Margaret

to each choose their own route in life.

The Hockneys is a never before seen insight into the lives of the family by youngest brother John,from growing up in the Second World War in Bradfordto their diverse lives across three continents. Hardship, success, and complex relationships are poignantly illustrated by both famous and private pictures and paintings from David Hockney.

With a rare and spirited look into the lives of an ordinary family with extraordinary stories, we begin to understand the creative freedom that led to their successful careers and the launchpad for an artist's work that continues to inspire generations across the world.

'He has a view of me no one else has.' -David Hockney

'Promises to examine the close and complex relationships between the family members, as well revealing more about the life of one of Britain's best-loved artists.' -Guardian

Reviews for The Hockneys: Never Worry What the Neighbours Think

"""He has a view of me no one else has."" --David Hockney ""As a memoir of family, of place, and of making the best under wartime and financially challenging circumstances, it is a reminder that - as hoary as it sounds, love does compensate for a lack of material goods, and it binds us long after we have flown our parents coop for the wide world."" --Observer ""A charming account."" --Telegraph ""Promises to examine the close and complex relationships between the family members, as well revealing more about the life of one of Britain's best-loved artists."" --Guardian"
