<b>David Hockney</b>

(2009) 

 

 Writing in The Guardian, Adrian Searle spoke of the next landscape as having ‘an almost surreal and visionary delight’, culminating in...

'''...a painting so over the top...that it looks as though giant caterpillars were climbing all over a kind of mad topiary, beneath a roaring Van Goghish sky. I wish more works could be as crazy as this: Hockney captures and amplifies something of the astonishment of hawthorns in bloom.'[Adrian Searle] 

It is a very weird painting."
