'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 Bradford to 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.

Industry Reviews

"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
