Landscape has become an important theme for David Hockney, especially since he returned to his homeland, the Yorkshire Wolds, in the 1990s. The landscapes in this catalgoue show a series of in-depth observations of the changing seasons and the way in which light, space and nature are constantly in motion. They are reminiscent of the landscapes of Vincent van Gogh, including his monumental Wheatfield with Crows and The Harvest. This book pays particular attention to these beautiful landscapes alongside Van Gogh’s depiction of nature, with a special focus on technique, perspective and colour, and the way Van Gogh and Hockney use these ‘formal’ elements to create their particular view on the world surrounding them.

The book includes an exclusive interview with David Hockney about the inspiration he has found in Van Gogh’s work.

风景已成为大卫•霍克尼的重要主题，尤其是在20世纪90年代他回到自己的家乡约克郡丘陵之后。这本目录册中的风景画展示了对季节变更和对光、空间与大自然不断运动的方式的一系列深入观察。它们会让人想起文森特•梵高的风景画，包括他意义深远的作品《麦田上的乌鸦》和《丰收》。本书对这些美丽的风景画以及梵高对大自然的描绘给与了特别的关注，并尤其注重技巧、透视法和色彩，以及梵高和霍克尼如何使用这些“正式”元素来创作表现他们周围世界的特别的风景画。
本书包含对大卫•霍克尼的独家采访，内容有关其在梵高作品中找到的灵感。
