Sometimes, with artists who died young, we can only wonder what greatness they would have achieved had they lived long enough. Such a list could include Raphael—the wunderkind of the mid-Renaissance—the talented Impressionists Frédéric Bazille and Gustave Caillebotte, who could have created masterpieces had they lived as long as Monet, and Egon Schiele and August Macke, geniuses of Vienna’s early 1900s art who both died in their 20s. Then, there are other artists whose late output did not match their early genius. Botticelli’s late art is less luminous and interesting than his early paintings, and Giorgio de Chirico will always be admired most for his early Surrealist art.
David Hockney is in neither category. He has had time to create, evolve, and grow, and he has only become better with age. He is now 88 years old, and he announced that the David Hockney 25 exhibition that recently opened at Fondation Louis Vuitton is to be his last show. Hopefully not, but let’s take a look at this show, which is certainly the most important art event of the year.

Wow, stunning images. Modern art is usually hard for me. Hockney’s colors create amazing perception while viewing. Love the iPad images. Would love to have copies of a few for meditating.
Thank you Nina
Food For The Soul has gone from an also ran feature in The Solari Report upon my early subscription perusal to a favorite today. I had mistakenly commented to Catherine in a post card that Nina was alternately alluring and frightening. Alluring still holds. Her command and ability to convey the subject matter in any of her features are usually “todays best lesson” and a high point for the day. As for frightening, what would have been more accurate is the word intimidating. That is on me. Her command of everything she discusses along with her no nonsense approach had the novice art appreciator (me) backpedaling. Stunning images by an artist I am largely familiar with in little more than name. As always Nina makes me feel as if I know the artist. Another top shelf Food For The Soul feature. Thank you.
So glad you enjoy it Wayne. Yes. I loved this one. Hockney had an exhibit at the Van Gogh in Amsterdam several years ago and I went with Nina. Her love of Hockney was joyous to listen to. I looked at Hockney in a whole new way.
