Hockney – Van Gogh: The Joy of Nature offers unique insights into the influences of two world‑renowned artists. One of the central themes linking the works of David Hockney and Vincent van Gogh is nature. Hockney’s Yorkshire landscapes echo Van Gogh’s “Wheatfield with Crows” and “The Harvest,” and for the first time art lovers can analyze these pieces side by side. The book presents paintings, iPad drawings, and sketch‑book reproductions, encompassing both historic and recent works, and examines how each artist employs formal elements to convey their distinct worldviews. It includes a special interview with art critic Hans den Hartog Jager, providing an in‑depth analysis of Van Gogh’s impact on Hockney. A striking portrait of David Hockney, photographed by renowned Dutch photographer Rineke Dijkstra, is also featured.
