In recent years renowned artist David Hockney has returned to England to paint the landscape of his childhood in East Yorkshire. Although his passionate interest in new technologies has led him to develop a virtuosic drawing technique on the iPad, he has also traveled outdoors with a traditional sketchbook, an invaluable tool as he works quickly to capture the changing light and fleeting effects of the weather. Executed in watercolor and ink, these panoramic scenes have the spatial complexity of finished paintings--the broad sweep of sky or road, the patchwork tapestry of land--yet convey the immediacy of Hockney's impressions. For those who know the East Yorkshire Wolds, the location of the sketches is unmistakable; for those who don't, its features will come to life in these pages.

一本来自英国最负盛名艺术家之一的素描集复刻本

近年来，著名艺术家大卫·霍克尼回到英国，描绘他在东约克郡童年时期的风景。尽管他对新技术的浓厚兴趣使他在iPad上练就了精湛的绘画技巧，但他也会带着传统的素描本到户外写生。在他迅速捕捉变幻的光线和转瞬即逝的天气效果时，素描本成了一件宝贵的工具。这些用水彩和墨水创作的全景画，兼具完成画作的空间复杂性——广阔的天空或道路，拼布般的土地——同时又传递出霍克尼即时的印象。对于那些熟悉东约克郡丘陵的人来说，这些素描的地点一目了然；对于不熟悉的人来说，这些页面会让那里的风貌变得生动起来。
