Looking Is Hard Work-David Hockney outtake 55/80

This was my first day of filming David at work painting the East Yorkshire Wolds. We had spent two hours out in Fridaythorpe near Huggate in the wind and intermittent rain, now he was finishing up the picture in his attic studio.
 When we met up in Rome in 2007 to discuss the film he elected me his guide to the sights of the city. It was then I was forcibly struck by how he takes looking to another dimension, a quicksilver visual omni-voraciousness. The late October light in the attic studio was stunning, even with my basic Sony PD150 camera.

Filmed over three years with unprecedented access, A Bigger Picture captures Britain’s most beloved painter at work. David Hockney’s return from California to paint the East Yorkshire landscape of his childhood – outside, in all weathers, through the seasons – culminates in the largest picture ever made outdoors. It’s an inspiring story of a painter in creative dialogue with nature and photography, and a revealing portrait of Britain’s most popular and celebrated artist.

“This wonderful film … will be of lasting importance for future generations who want to understand Hockney’s art.” Saturday Review, BBC Radio 4

“Bruno Wollheim’s portrait of this forthright magus is an unqualified, life-enhancing joy from start to finish.” – The Sunday Times

“This film may well be the best anyone will ever make about Hockney’s process.” – The Times, London.

“As gently hypnotic and fulfilling as one of Hockney’s own works.” – Time Out

“This impressive documentary is almost cinematic in its scope… both majestic and intimate” – The Observer
