THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING IN WOLDGATE, EAST YORKSHIRE, 21 March 2011

The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 21 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 digital landscape depicts a winding country lane flanked by leafless shrubs and small trees in rusty reds and ochres, set against a pale sky. The lane is painted in creamy yellows and soft greys, casting long shadows, while the roadside verge is rendered with vibrant green strokes that suggest early spring growth.

Hockney’s iPad collection marks a transformative moment in digital art, merging traditional plein-air observation with the expressive potential of touchscreen technology. Documenting the seasonal awakening of the East Yorkshire countryside in 2011, the Arrival of Spring series showcases Hockney’s innovation in both form and medium, reinforcing his legacy as a pioneer of contemporary landscape.
