A Year in Normandie, A small section of the work
Another image of Normandy this one made by the artist David Hockney . It's a tiny section of a vast work called “ A year in Normandie “ which at 90.75 metres (295 foot) long is David Hockney’s biggest ever picture: a vibrant, joyful frieze recording the changing seasons in and around the artist’s French garden. This was the first time this vast work has been seen in the UK after being shown at the Orangerie in Paris.
We saw the work at Salts Mill in Shipley near Bradford its a huge old Cotton Mill on the banks of the River Aire . Hockney was born in Bradford and for many years Salts Mill has been closely linked to his work. The English artist who at one time was based in California now lives in Normandy in an old farmhouse in the Pays D’ Auge. He writes that the inspiration for this huge work was the famous Bayeux Tapestry that is situated close to where Hockney now lives .
A technical note “ A year in Normandie “ was created by Hockney on an iPad then enlarged onto canvas. You might think this is easy compared to painting but you try using brushes app on an iPad it's very difficult to use. If you are interested in Hockneys life and work in Normandy I can recommend a book called “The Spring cannot be cancelled “ a delightful read .
Catch up with you all in a couple of weeks
