DAVID HOCKNEY & A MOMENT TO PONDER LANDSCAPE PAINTING


I'm not sure which modernist critic said that it wasn't possible to do anything with landscape any more. But when people say things like that I'm always perverse enough to think, ‘Oh, I'm sure it is.’ I thought about it, and then I decided that it couldn't be true because every generation looks differently. Of course you can still paint landscape – it’s not been worn out.
