We can't get BBC things here so the link to the clips on Coluga Pictures was especially welcome.Mary Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928467917550027272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-19999727131450327322009-07-03T09:59:32.937+00:002009-07-03T09:59:32.937+00:00I haven't seen the film yet (square eyes from ...I haven't seen the film yet (square eyes from too much Wimbledon tennis!), but I have recorded it. We have a wonderful video tape narrated by David Hockney about a scroll called " A day out on the Grand Canal with the Emperor of China" We bought it after seeing an exhibition of chinese scrolls, I think at the Hayward Gallery. (must have been in the early 90"s ) The changing perspective as the scroll unrolls is truly amazing.Jenni Twidlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-81570796234625806682009-07-02T19:16:00.376+00:002009-07-02T19:16:00.376+00:00Thanks for this.

Hockney's return to Bridlington, East Yorkshire, is significant nationally, internationally and locally as well as a more than welcome additional breath of fresh air to this chill and windy part of the coast. This homecoming film revealed Hockney's abiding love for an often neglected part of the world. Painters round here tend to produce rather mimsy, unexciting and predictable scenes rather than the intense exploration of nature we witnessed in the film. It'll do all of us in this neck of the woods a power of good!Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625938575510494208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-30695006230830970442009-07-02T14:52:13.376+00:002009-07-02T14:52:13.376+00:00Caught it on tv the other night - it's great! ...Caught it on tv the other night - it's great!

It was especially interesting because I myself (being an expat) often wonder where I will end up and if I find a reason to come back to live in my country.Ursula Andrejczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927890092717809469noreply@blogger.com
