The coffee table book "David Hockney: 220 for 2020" by TASCHEN presents an impressive collection of iPad paintings that the famous artist made around his small farm in Normandy during a year of confinement. The book shows vivid impressions of the changing light and landscape.

From a small, picturesque farmhouse in the rich fields and meadows of Normandy followed David Hockney the change of seasons in 2020 into the new year. He used his iPad to render spontaneous impressions of the landscape around him, capturing the first spring blossoms, the scent of summer, the saturated colors of autumn and the stark shapes of dark branches in winter.

The 220 iPad paintings in this book are printed with six colors to match the richness of the artist's vision. A brief introduction by Hockney reveals how this planned project became a lifeline during the COVID lockdown, from which he spread his message of hope: "Remember, they can't cancel spring."
