David Hockney kept himself busy during Covid by creating a 314′ frieze

“>

 

 

So how did David Hockney, one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century,  while away his time during the Covod lockdown?  Well. he decamped to his house in  Normandy, and he took the opportunity to watch and record the changing seasons on his iPad.  The stunning result is 200 pictures stitched together into one continuous frieze that, at 314 feet long, is his biggest work to date

 

 

 

P.S, Many of us remember Hockney’s early work back in the 1960s when he played a major part in the pop movement.  And it’s always a joy to revisit A BIGGER SPLASH about Hockney and his work after his breakup with Peter Schlesinger.  It is still available on Netflix
