Hockney – Van Gogh: The Joy of Nature
£23.70£28.50 (-17%)
Landscape has become an important theme for David Hockney, especially since he returned to his homeland, the Yorkshire Wolds, in the 1990s. The landscapes in this catalgoue show a series of in-depth observations of the changing seasons and the way in which light, space and nature are constantly in motion. They are reminiscent of the landscapes of Vincent van Gogh, including his monumental Wheatfield with Crows and The Harvest. This book pays particular attention to these beautiful landscapes alongside Van Gogh’s depiction of nature, with a special focus on technique, perspective and colour, and the way Van Gogh and Hockney use these ‘formal’ elements to create their particular view on the world surrounding them.
The book includes an exclusive interview with David Hockney about the inspiration he has found in Van Gogh’s work.

I loved the Hockney Ehibition in London a couple of years ago and have been inspired by his landscapes ever since. I saw this book in a local shop initially, but after checking Amazon found it much cheaper.
Beautiful vivid landscape art from Hockney and Vsn Gogh.

Wonderful pictures, but not a HARD-back book, at a hefty £21.00 price!! – also, the paper is a little “cheap” the feel of it in my hands, it’s not a very warm & tactile feel, for such wonderful art-works … that was a disappointment and a contradiction to me, I wanted to give it to someone special as a gift – but have to think twice now, in case it gives the impression I got it for a fiver, somewhere!!

Good illustrations and insightful commentary about an exhibition putting Van Gogh pictures next to Hockney. I thought Hockney might have been more candid in his answers in places, but he clearly decided not to!
