    THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING IN WOLDGATE, EAST YORKSHIRE, 19 March 2011

    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 19 March 2011 is a David Hockney iPad drawing from the 25-edition, regular size print release of his 49-part digital series The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate. This piece portrays a sunlit country lane framed by tall trees and bare branches, with vibrant green foliage and a moss-covered brick ruin on the right, leading toward a glowing horizon under a clear blue sky.

     

    Created entirely on an iPad, Hockney’s Arrival of Spring series redefines plein-air landscape art with bold colour, digital fluency, and observational depth. Documenting seasonal transformation in East Yorkshire throughout 2011, the collection has become a landmark in Hockney’s digital practice and a standout in contemporary British art.
