The Sunday Times bestseller: David Hockney reflects upon life and
art as he experiences lockdown in rural Normandy On turning eighty,
David Hockney sought out rustic tranquillity for the first time: a
place to watch the sunset and the change of the seasons, a place to
keep the madness of the world at bay. So when Covid-19 and lockdown
struck, it made little difference to life at La Grande Cour, the
centuries-old Normandy farmhouse where Hockney set up a studio a
year before, in time to paint the arrival of spring. In fact, he
relished the enforced isolation as an opportunity for even greater
devotion to his art.Spring Cannot be Cancelled is an uplifting
manifesto that affirms art's capacity to divert and inspire. 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Hockney's new, unpublished Normandy iPad drawings and paintings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.
