Welcome, Spring!

Featured spreads are from David Hockney: The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, our pick for the long-awaited first day of spring, 2023. Collecting 140 remarkable, super-vivid iPad drawings made on Hockney's property in northern France during Spring of 2020, this intimate, sketchbook-like volume captures the evergreen joy of the season. In an interview published in the book, former Royal Academy of Arts curator and current Hockney managing director Edith Devaney mentions Monet, who was so closely associated with Normandy.
Hockney replies, "Yes, he was at Giverny for forty years, he saw forty springs, forty summers, forty autumns and forty winters. I mean, the accumulation of all that must have been magnificent for him in his mind and in the way he’d look at paintings. I know how exciting it must have been for him, I know, because you’re always wondering when will the first day be, the first little shoots, you’re looking out for them, it’s very exciting. I’m sure Monet was excited every day of his life, and he painted that way, didn’t he?"
