Spring Cannot be Cancelled

David Hockney in Normandy

Martin Gayford and David Hockney

New in B-format paperback

David Hockney reflects upon life and art as he experiences lockdown in rural Normandy.

ISBN 9780500296608 Thames and Hudson Ltd Paperback 19.8 x 12.9 cm 280 pp 142 Illustrations GBP 14.99 March It is based on a wealth of new conversations and correspondence between Hockney and the art critic Martin Gayford, his long-time friend and collaborator. Their exchanges are illustrated by a selection of Hockney’s new, unpublished Normandy iPad drawings and paintings alongside works by van Gogh, Monet, Bruegel, and others.

We see how Hockney is propelled ever forward by his infectious enthusiasms and sense of wonder. A lifelong contrarian, he has been in the public eye for sixty years, yet remains entirely unconcerned by the view of critics or even history. He is utterly absorbed by his four acres of northern France and by the themes that have fascinated him for decades: light, colour, space, perception, water, trees. He has much to teach us, not only about how to see... but about how to live.

"This book is not so much a celebration of spring as a springboard for ideas about art, space, time and light. It is scholarly, thoughtful and provoking" −The Times "Lavishly illustrated… Gayford is a thoughtfully attentive critic with a capacious frame of reference" − Guardian
