I’m not sure that any image could do justice to this marvelous new David Hockney work. It is enormous: 12 meters long and 4.5 meters high. It is probably the largest picture ever painted outdoors. It consists of 50 separate canvases hung together and was the star of last year’s Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. Now, he has donated the work to the Tate Gallery. The size of the piece will make the showing “complicated” but they will find a way.
