David Hockney landscapes: The wold is not enough

Over time, however, he discovered what he could not capture with a lens, saying: "Photography seems to be rather good at portraiture, or can be. But, it can't tell you about space, which is the essence of landscape. For me anyway. Even Ansel Adams can't quite prepare you for what Yosemite looks like when you go through that tunnel and you come out the other side."

The National Gallery has lent one of its greatest Dutch paintings for this show: Meindert Hobbema’s The Avenue at Middelharnis.

It’s about making the ships and going off to England, and things like that. But mine is even more real—it’s about the seasons. And mine is longer, nearly three hundred feet. [ Laughs.] I had to do it from the two hundred and twenty paintings and add to them to get a whole year. It was a bit difficult to join them all together, and we couldn’t see all of it in this studio. We could only make a half-size version and had to do it in bits. So the first time I saw it, really, was when we put it up in the museum, and I did think it was very good.
