Hockney stated that it is only in the last year that computer software has advanced enough to keep up with the artist\u2019s hand and allow sufficient sensitivity of colour and painterly line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c There are advantages and disadvantages to anything new in mediums for artists, but the speed allowed here with colour is something new, swapping brushes in the hand with oil watercolour takes time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This show \u2013 on two floors of the gallery &#8211; includes 10 landscapes from Hockney\u2019s Yorkshire homeland<br \/>\nand 18 portraits in editions between 7 and 25. The sitters include David Hockney\u2019s brother, sister, friends and colleagues. Far from allowing the artist to cheat, this new technique \u2013 sometimes printed over 2 metres wide \u2013 shows Hockney\u2019s hand and skill in minute detail and vivid colour. They show the accuracy and fluidity of his line, depth and character as clearly as a unique painting or drawing with a vibrant and<br \/>\ndirect presence.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time these works have been shown in Europe \u2013 the landscape prints can also be seen at a major museum exhibition of over 70 new Yorkshire Landscape paintings, drawings and prints at Museum W\u00fcrth, Schw\u00e4bisch Hall, Germany.<\/p>\n<p>David Hockney was born in Bradford in 1937 and studied at the Royal College of Art between 1959 and 1962. His first solo exhibition was in 1963. Annely Juda Fine Art have represented David Hockney since 1996. Over many years David Hockney has been known for responding to new technological possibilities and has famously used polaroid photography, faxed images and photocopying in his art.<\/p>\n<p>A fully illustrated 72 page hardback catalogue is available on request.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2292\" title=\"david-hockney2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/david-hockney2.jpg\" alt=\"david-hockney2\" width=\"487\" height=\"709\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2293\" title=\"david-hockney3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/david-hockney3.jpg\" alt=\"david-hockney3\" width=\"287\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2294\" title=\"david-hockney4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/david-hockney4.jpg\" alt=\"david-hockney4\" width=\"542\" height=\"709\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Annely Juda Fine Art<\/em>, 23 Dering Street, London, 011 44 20 7629 7578, through July 11,  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annelyjudafineart.co.uk\" target=\"_self\">www.annelyjudafineart.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Hockney is once again exploiting the possibilities of new technology in art.<br \/>\nThe show comprises 28 limited edition prints that Hockney has drawn on his computer using Photoshop and Graphics Tablet.
