It was the height of Spring when the greens were still vividly varied and Nature was a frenzy of activity. David called this moment of peak excitement “Action Week”. It triggers a memory from earlier that year, when in the dead of winter he and JP ventured by car into the snow and experienced an epiphany, which was eventually caught three or so years later in his multi-screen video installation ‘Woldgate Woods, 2010’.
At the beginning of the video David is trying to get through to Sir Tatton Sykes, a friend and neighbour and the owner of Sledmere House. The red estate houses feature in his 1997 painting of 'The Road to York through Sledmere'.

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
