80's David Hockney In Perspective VHS

'Filmed in Autumn 1998 in Los Angeles, in his house, this film sheds new light on David Hockney's work of that period. In his studio we are present with him during the production of the works which he considers to be the crowning achievement of his research into the connection between space and landscape : his representations of the Grand Canyon. Two monumental works consisting of 60 juxtaposed canvases.

He allows us to share his concerns over the connection between painting and photography, time and memory. He tells us how his work on opera has influenced his comprehension of space, he takes us along with him on his "musical drives", cruising through the Californian landscape, which he enjoys doing whilst listening to Parsifal: in a car one is at the centre of things and when one moves through the landscape, one becomes a centre that moves'

Epic film from the late 90's not to be missed by any Hockney nuts - the best way to watch on VHS.
