"One day in 1999, as he ambled through London's National Gallery examining the meticulous art of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, David Hockney was struck by something. How, he wondered, could the 19th century French neoclassical artist create such vivid detail at such a small scale? His conclusion: Ingres and other great masters must have made use of optical technology -- mirrors and lenses -- as tools in their work." Listen to an interview with David Hockney or view a photo gallery with commentary.
