What an eye this artist has!!! And what a brain to see what things can be done with a new piece of illustrators equipment. He is way in the forefront and deserves his place in the development of serious art.

@@nationalgallery Yes! I've always been fascinated with his interest in perspective and optics and long felt he had something there when talking and writing about the old masters.

Please omit the annoying, narrative-killing background “music.”

Encuentro fantástico 😂 el canal lo único lamentable es que no hayan subtitulo en otros idiomas por que no los activan cuando los suben 😡, si es un gran canal cultural deben pensar que no todo el mundo 🌎 habla inglés

Hockney is brilliant

[@kelleycavan6911]

He certainly had eclectic tastes in art which is very much appreciated

David Hockey is a minor artist but the darling of the working classes. Must promote him then.....
