Homeland: David Hockney and the Yorkshire Landscape

Cv/VAR series 104 Reviews 'David Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture', exhibited at the Royal Academy from January to April 2012. The project of creating monumental landscape paintings was based on a small area near the artist's home at Bridlington in East Yorkshire. Works developed with time-framed films, photographs, iPad studies, drawings, sketchbooks, oils and watercolours; recording particular motifs and places in the changing seasons. Studies were enlarged on joined canvases in compositions up to 30' wide, designed to immerse the viewer in an intense experience of the landscape.
