The course of the seasons in an artist's book of iPad paintings
From a small, picturesque farmhouse in the rich fields and meadows of Normandy, David Hockney followed the changing seasons across 2020 and into the new year. He used his iPad to spontaneously depict impressions of the landscape surrounding him, catching the first spring blossoms, the smell of summer, the saturated colors of autumn, and the stark shapes of dark branches in winter time. The 220 (plus four bonus) iPad paintings in this book are printed with up to seven special colors to match the richness of the artist's vision and tipped in on a dark blue paper stock. A short introduction by Hockney reveals how this planned project became a lifeline during the COVID lockdown, from which he spread his message of hope: “Remember they can't cancel the spring.”

The book is accompanied by a smaller extra volume of ink and watercolor drawings: the complete facsimiles of two sketchbooks from 2019, starting in the vicinity of the artist's Los Angeles home and following him along scouting trips around Normandy. Both volumes come in a clamshell box with the artist's iPad painting of an aerial view of the Normandy house and garden on the inside of the lid.

Collector's Edition (No. 401–2,020), numbered and stamped in Vol. 1.

Also available in four Art Editions

(No. 1–400), each with a numbered print, dated and signed by David Hockney

一个艺术家iPad画册中的四季变化
在诺曼底一个风景如画的小农舍里，有着富饶的田野和草地，大卫·霍克尼（David Hockney）记录了2020年至2021年的四季变化。他用iPad描绘了对周围风景的印象，捕捉到了春天开的**朵花、夏天的气味、秋天饱和的颜色，以及冬天暗色树枝的鲜明形状。本书展示了220幅（加上额外4幅）iPad绘画，使用了多达7种特殊颜色印刷，以配合艺术家丰富的视觉效果，并将这些画作粘附在深蓝色的纸上。霍克尼在介绍中透露了这个计划项目是如何成为COVID封锁期间的希望，以此传播希望的信息：“记住，它们不能取消春天”。

本书附有一本较小的水墨画本，收录了2019年两本素描本的完整绘画，霍克尼从洛杉矶到诺曼底的观察绘画。这两册书都装在一个翻盖盒里，盒盖内侧是艺术家在iPad上画的诺曼底房子和花园的鸟瞰图。
