  • May 2006. While David was busy painting East Yorkshire en plein air, this was one of many interruptions from local folk.
    A priceless Yorkshire scene unfolds: the weather, the beauty of the county, exile, cricket, tobacco, fly-by-nights, with David making it clear he is not offering the farmer an original painting!
    I think this is the third of four versions of The Road to Thwing (originally the picture and motif were called The Vista). That morning had crackled with tension after David had realized how much the vegetation had grown in the previous days and altered the scene, giving him a lot more work to do.

    This video is an outtake from David Hockney: A Bigger Picture, an award-winning documentary by filmmaker Bruno Wollheim.

    Filmed over three years with unprecedented access, A Bigger Picture captures Britain’s most beloved painter at work. David Hockney’s return from California to paint the East Yorkshire landscape of his childhood - outside, in all weathers, through the seasons - culminates in the largest picture ever made outdoors. It’s an inspiring story of a painter in creative dialogue with nature and photography, and a revealing portrait of Britain’s most popular and celebrated artist.
    “This wonderful film … will be of lasting importance for future generations who want to understand Hockney’s art.” Saturday Review, BBC Radio 4
    “Bruno Wollheim’s portrait of this forthright magus is an unqualified, life-enhancing joy from start to finish.” - The Sunday Times
    “This film may well be the best anyone will ever make about Hockney’s process.” - The Times, London.
    “As gently hypnotic and fulfilling as one of Hockney’s own works.” - Time Out
    “This impressive documentary is almost cinematic in its scope… both majestic and intimate” - The Observer

    Every outdoor artist knows the attraction towards painters from the public and their fascination with us,Hockney deals with such people in this warm welcoming way even if it is a minor disruption in a busy schedule,such friendly passing of words in this case adding and enhancing to the painting,and what a super gesture to offer to send a print to the land owner.For 80 years old he is still a dynamic painter enduring whatever the weather throws at him,and long may this continue as his legacy of work continues to inspire those who admire his tenacity as an artist.

    David Hockney`s a true gentleman to be so sociable while he`s working...

    Dear me; the more I watch these little clips, the greater the man becomes. How many world-renowned painters would be so accommodating to a stranger turning up like that? Great attitude also, regarding the dictators who preside over us.

      Glad you're enjoying them. I think DH was very aware whose land he was painting, and liked the interchange

    One of the prerequisites of painting outdoors. He was pretty good too at putting up with being filmed, not that he'd take instruction....

    I'm not sure he quite got who he was talking to, imagine bumbing into John Constable on Salisbury water meadows .... amazing.

      David had been painting on that spot for a week or two, and ended up making three pictures of that view (first titled 'The Vista', then changed to 'The Road to Thwing'). By then, word had got around the unpopulated Wolds, everybody knew about him. David would take the view that the area belonged to them, and was very tolerant of interruptions, even seemed to enjoy them.

    I hadn't noticed the birds. 12th May, so late Spring. The farmer is called John Burdass.
