The Moon Room - David Hockney
On display at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rouen.
There was an exhibition of some of the work David Hockney undertook while spending the COVID-19 period in Normandy.
David Hockney's nocturnes—with their assemblages of blues, greens, and blacks, their muted grayish-browns and carmines, their brilliant ochres and whites, whether treated in monochrome in the background or juxtaposed in powerful contrasts—reflect his fascination with light and its reflections, as well as his keen interest in the work of van Gogh.
In David Hockney's hands, the digital tablet becomes a magical object, offering the possibility of painting at night. On the phosphorescent surface, his every gesture becomes light.
With the "Moon Room," the painter also reveals a "mirror moon," an ambassador of the sun, as much as of painting.
