Synopsis
Filmed over three years, this documentary is an unprecedented record of a major artist at work. It captures David Hockney’s return from California to paint his native Yorkshire, outside, through the seasons and in all weathers. It tells the story of a homecoming and gives a revealing portrait of what inspires and motivates today’s greatest living British-born artist. Reviews "An unqualified, life-enhancing joy from start to finish!" - The Sunday Times (London) "As gently hypnotic and fulfilling as one of Hockney’s own works." - Time Out London "This film may well be the best anyone will ever make about Hockney’s process." "We keep coming back to this wonderful film, not just to enjoy now but for its lasting importance for future generations who want to understand Hockney’s art." - BBC Radio "An affectionate portrait of David Hockney who has come back to the land of his birth to find new springs for his art." - The Financial Times "A gentle, inspiring film... completely engrossing!" - Radio Times, Pick of the Day Recommended Reading That's the Way I See It by David Hockney True to Life: Twenty-Five Years of Conversations with David Hockney by Lawrence Weschler David Hockney Portraits by Sarah Howgate and Barbara Shapiro Hockney's Pictures: The Definitive Retrospective by Gregory Evans Disc Features ● Hockney At Work on Late November Tunnel
