DAVID HOCKNEY
LANDSCAPE DRAWINGS
Louisiana Museum
Gl. Strandvej 13 - Humlebæk
19.3.2015 - 21.6.2015
For David Hockney art is the unique connection between observation and reproduction. Louisiana’s guests have experienced this themselves, every time they have stood before Hockney’s A Closer Grand Canyon, one of the major paintings in the museum’s collection, and in 2011, when Louisiana exhibited Hockney, who had suddenly thrown himself into iPhone and iPad as reproductive media for his experiences.
Once again it is time for Hockney at Louisiana, this time in the Louisiana on Paper series with the artist’s striking drawings of the landscape of Yorkshire, where he was born. They are completely classical in style, sometimes drawn in the open air, other times from the driver’s seat of a car parked by the corner of a fence. Hockney (born 1937) is a master draughtsman of a lineage with the best in art history. His drawings are peerless and the pleasure at the sight of them is contagious.
