SPRING CANNOT BE CANCELLED by Martin Gayford and David Hockney (Thames and Hudson £25)
‘If you’re in the right place, the lockdown has its pleasures,’ says David Hockney. Living in his ‘higgledy-piggledy’ Normandy farmhouse, ‘a real paradise’, Hockney’s artistic output has been immense.
Last year, he made headlines with his iPad drawings of the region in spring, epitomised by this beautiful image of a blossoming tree.
Peppered with his colourful work and insightful conversations with art critic Martin Gayford, this book shows that, though the pandemic cancelled many things, spring cannot be stopped — and neither can David Hockney.
