PARIS, Oct 9 — British artist David Hockney has always been a workhorse, so his months of lockdown in France were a welcome opportunity to devote himself to observing nature.“If you look at the world, it’s very beautiful. But you’ve got to have a clear head and there’s lots of things that stop you looking.

“When the lockdown came I didn’t mind at all,” said Hockney, 84, resplendent as ever in his trademark round-rimmed glasses and a checked suit. All of the drawings were made on an iPad, which has become his preferred way to make art — much more than the photographs that used to be so central to his work.“Everyone’s a photographer. Everyone has a mobile phone in their pocket, they can all take photographs. Photographs are very boring.”“It’s a new technique. I don’t think there’s many people doing it,” he said.

“They cancelled the Olympic Games, but you can’t cancel the Spring,” he said with a mischievous grin.
