Van Gogh & Hockney: The Joy of Nature offers unique insights into the influences of two world‑renowned artists. It explores nature as a central theme that unites David Hockney’s and Vincent van Gogh’s works. Hockney’s Yorkshire landscapes evoke Van Gogh’s Wheatfield with Crows and The Harvest, allowing art lovers to examine the pieces side by side for the first time. The book presents reproductions of paintings, iPad drawings, and sketch‑book studies, combining both historic and recent works, and examines how each artist employed formal elements to shape their distinct world views. An exclusive interview with art critic Hans den Hartog Jager provides a rich analysis of Van Gogh’s impact on Hockney. A striking portrait of David Hockney, photographed by famed Dutch photographer Rineke Dijkstra, is also featured. Publication dates: August 2018 – May 2019. Language: English. Hardcover, 224 pages; Hardcover, 176 pages. ISBN: 9783961711468, 9780500239971.
