Going for a Yorkshire breakfast on Saturday morning and then seeing the show after

[HRE]

seems like a pretty good deal to me as tickets work out at £15.50 i think... so another £7 odd quid for some munch not bad

Really nice interview with Hockney to listen to

www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/johntusainterview/hockney_transcript.shtml

Hockney is a national treasure and a great draughtsman, always loved his art.

[sneakerfreak]

Can't wait - I really think this is some of the strongest wok he has done and the size of some of the works look immense.

[Winter]

Taking wife and kids in Feb, can't wait

I was trying to buy from RA but was having problems. Purchased here no problems

ipad art - phuff, easy pass for me.

Yes i know there are huge paintings on display but ipad art - phuff

[Happy Shopper]

I think only one room of "paintings" were generated on iPad... although I fail to see what difference it would make!?

[adewilliams]

Are the ipad generated 'paintings' printed on canvas? that would be shocking, if they are displayed on ipad screens then I suppose that is more forgivable.

Being a fan of Hockneys photo montages I wanted a play on the idea for my family portrait. Which I know I have shown off a lot.
Hockey used to move around taken his photo's to eliminate perspective. Where as Vincent Brown Stayed still and let us move around, before painting the portrait.
I think its a great family portrait, as you get movment, energy and no posing. Not that there is anything wrong with a bit of pouting.
But anway one more time .
The frame took 45 hours .

I don't understand this at all. Hockney has consistently been at the forefront of art and the various media through which it can be produced and viewed. He is a world renowned printer and lithographer, has long experimented in photographic composition including collages with multiple points of view, was at the forefront of producing works by xerox and fax machine and now is working in the digital realm. Anyone who has seen his stunning (projected) ipad work at Salts Mill would never look down their noses at such incredible, vibrant work.

But why would it be 'shocking' to print ipad work onto canvas? What's the difference between this and say, Banksy having a Girl With Balloon stencil and spraying out 25 canvasses in a morning?

Art is constantly changing and it's artists like Hockney who have consistently not only explored but pushed it forward into new territories.

Long may it continue, say I.

IMHO, of course

I all for embracing new technology. I'll give it a go, before casting judgment.

My sentiments exactly, I just couldn't be f**ked to type that long, not taken my pills this morning .

If Gavin Turk Farted in a Jam Jar, if God forbid Hirst/Banksy actually produced all their own art. Truth is who gives a fuck. If it looks nice I couldn't care if the homless guy in room 27 of the Salvation Army did it. If its crap I'll say so after seeing it, if I like it I'll do the same, but to judge before seeing is fucking strange.

[Deleted]

Time to find those chill pills dudes. Love You all ;-).

[adewilliams]

I dont think ipad generated paintings would have any vibrancy once printed onto canvas. I don't mind the idea of ipads displaying his art but he's not a pioneer in digital art, not at all.

[Hubble Bubble]

He'll be relieved you don't mind...

[adewilliams]

yeah fair enough

Shame I missed this as when I went on the RA site the other day there wasn't much left, so we've ended up with Easter Monday.

Has anyone else been yet? Good show I thought, particularly liked his sermon on the mount variations. Loved seeing all of his different ways of recreating the same piece of art. Though the ipad sketches were well executed too, had low expectations for those but he managed to get a lot of detail out of them I though and it was interesting to see sketches of the landscape depicted and displayed in that medium. They're only a small part of the show anyway so don't let it put anyone off going!

[johnnyh]

Ya lucky b*st*rds would love to see this show. One of the world's greatest artists. Whether IPad good for art or not you certainly cannot judge him on this. However I would value his decision to do it it over anyone's opinion here.

Do not mean that in a rude way and include me not being qualified to judge him either. Man is an artistic genius and deserves the respect not to judge till you have seen.

Would love to see it

Going to try and go soon. Looks great and interested to see the iPad art up close

[sneakerfreak]

I was fortunate to get to the preview day on firday - can highly recommend a visit. In the flesh the colours are (as my friend said accieed!) mad on some of the works and the scale similiarly of some of the pieces is awesome. I really think Hockney and the RA have done well to get a really good 'flow; through the exhibition, with some earlier sketches and some of his sketch books on display which were a nice touch. My one slight disappointment was the ipad paintings - yes they are impressive, but there is a certain flatness or 2 dimensional quality compared with his other work - its difficult to explain until you see them side by side, but I didn't warm to them as much as his other work (and I really wanted to as cresdit to David for embracing new technology) I think some of them may have just been blown up too big. That said it is really worth the visit.

[century21girl]

Fantastic. Im here for the Signal Denning show but will try to get to see the Hockney too. Wonderful timing!

[Coach]

I know there are a few Hockney fans amongst us, including myself.

I recieved a catalogue today from the Goldmark Gallery, which may interest some.

They have a collection of original 1060's etchings from Grimm's Fairy Tales and Poems of Cavafy.

The later ones are very fine, imo.

The prices start at around £300 for unsigned, and about £1500 for signed, which seemed reasonable to me, but I have no idea of value of Hockney etchings.

Prices include delivery, frame and vat, apparently.

Some delightful etchings in the collection.

[Pattycakes]

Let me put it this way, I won't be buying.

[Deleted]

Think I'll check that out. Thanks for the tip off

[james]

thanks Coach.
