Not to be missed--David Hockney's "A Bigger Picture,"an exhibit of his large scale landscapes of East Yorkshire--to see more, visit LA Louver in Venice, California--and to learn more about the exhibit, visit The Royal Academy of Art
The first one - absolutely huge - was at York Art Gallery (here in the UK) last year as it's a local scene. I have to confess that it was completely wasted on me- I found it very crude, without being 'naive' or 'primitive', with dull colours and shabby execution. I think it looks much better when backlit on a computer screen. Hope I haven't committed heresy by saying this!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Gilly. It's always great to have a candid opinion. I am knocked out by his work, but I have only seen his recent work online.
