From the Publisher:

David Hockney, one of the world's greatest living artists, is creating some of the most significant work of his long career, painting the landscape and changing seasons of his native Yorkshire. These large, colorful works are the capstone of his engagement with nature, not only in England but also in the American Southwest, through the media of painting and photography. This book, the catalog of the first major Hockney museum exhibition in many years, offers a glorious view of the landscape as seen by the artist, and it includes not only his recent paintings but also his iPhone and iPad drawings. Essays by leading art historians?as well as a more literary piece by novelist Margaret Drabble and Hockney's own reflections on his recent work?explore Hockney's art from various perspectives.

Author Bio
Margaret Drabble
Margaret Drabble, the daughter of a barrister and an English teacher, grew up in a liberal, bookish household. Although she had three siblings, she remembers her childhood as isolated and lonely--as, oddly, does her elder sister, the novelist A. S. Byatt. She went to Cambridge on scholarship and studied English literature. She was married to the actor Clive Swift and worked as an actress herself, once understudying Vanessa Redgrave at the Royal Shakespeare Company. She gave up acting to have babies (three) and write novels, discovering that pregnancy inspired her best writing. Divorced in 1975, she subsequently married the biographer Michael Holroyd. She has written criticism, journalism, and screenplays as well as many novels, and she claims Arnold Bennett--with his middle-class values, sympathy with his non-elitist characters, and a Yorkshire upbringing similar to hers--as one of her major influences.
