Description
David Hockney reflects on life and art as he experiences lockdown in rural Normandy. On turning eighty, Hockney sought out a place to watch the sunset and the change of the seasons, where he could keep the world's madness at bay. Instead, Covid-19 and lockdown struck, but Hockney found solace in his art, devoting himself even more to his craft. In "Spring Cannot Be Cancelled", Hockney shares his latest artworks and conversations with art critic Martin Gayford, his long-time friend and collaborator. Their exchanges offer a glimpse into Hockney's infectious enthusiasm and sense of wonder, as well as his lifelong passion for exploring light, color, space, perception, water, and trees. Through his art and conversations, Hockney shows how to see the world with fresh eyes and how to live a life of wonder and creativity.
