[Reading] Spring Cannot Be Cancelled - David Hockney and Martin Gayford

[white_hart]

I bought this last year in the gallery at Salt's Mill, surrounded by Hockney works. Part biography, part an ongoing conversation between Hockney and art critic Martin Gayford conducted via FaceTime and email while Hockney was painting the seasons in his Normandy farmhouse during the 2020 lockdown. Some interesting thoughts on ways of seeing the world, and lots of pretty pictures.

Do they mean politically cancelled or just that it will always arrive in the end?

I think the latter - there's no reference to any kind of cancellation in the text, but I assume it's nodding to the situation in 2020 of so much else being non-politically cancelled.

Oh I see! Thank you. It sounds a lovely book and I think I’m going to get it as a present for someone.
