  • HOCKNEY CARRIES ON IN LOCKDOWN IN NORMANDY

    THE exhibition I most enjoyed last year – when you could still travel – was Hockney Van Gogh at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. This video with David Hockney on Van Gogh was part of a show which demonstrated how the two are allied artistically.

    Now on lockdown in Normandy David Hockney is in his garden most days, drawing spring awakening. He has shared current images with the BBC including this one, which shows connection with Van Gogh.

    David Hockney believes that we have lost touch with nature, “rather foolishly”.

    And here is Hockney on Van Gogh and The Joy of Nature. You will have to click on the link it contains to watch in on You Tube. Enjoy.
