Winter Trees Are Gothic 13.04.07
Hockney is viewing this massive painting Bigger Trees near Warter before it goes up on public display at The 2007 RA Summer Show. One of the inspirations for the picture was The Isenheim altarpiece, a Crucifixion by Gruenwald he’d recently seen – hence my question about The Gothic. Instead he talks about his Bradford childhood, and the million miles to Los Angeles!
