David Hockney silently pages through one of his sketchbooks. From March 2020.
In this video, Hockney pulls open a sketchbook of his circa 2019 and wordlessly pages through it, revealing the range of things that captured his eye in those moments: Domestic interior scenes, urban exteriors, landscapes ranging from recognizable to fanciful; still lifes, Rembrandt-esque human forms, half-timbered structures in Germany or Austria, random street scenes with details so minimal yet gesturally accurate that you can tell the pickup is an older Ford F-150. Black-and-white, sepia, full color, Hockney filled the pages using whatever tools he had on hand at the moment.
