'An utterly compelling rogues’ gallery of the famous, the infamous and the anonymous' - The Spectator

'An elegant framework for an account of a life which is also a study and a celebration of that life’s work … virtually every page turned is another encounter with Hockney’s distinctively expressive sense of line and colour' - Times Literary Supplement
'A Thames & Hudson treat' - Vogue
