David Hockney. A Year in Normandie and Some Other Thoughts about Painting

Bringing together David Hockneys monumental 90-metre frieze and some of his most recent paintings, this book captures Hockneys lifelong celebration of simple beauty. A Year in Normandie and Some Other Thoughts about Painting invites readers to encounter David Hockneys different modes of expression. In addition to his monumental frieze, inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, ten new paintings, five portraits and five still lifes, trace the artists evolving dialogue with time, perspective and art history, reflecting his enduring call to look with both eyes and reconsider how painting can shape our experience of the world.
