「愛是藝術的源頭。我愛生命。」──大衛．霍克尼年過八十的大衛．霍克尼決定隱匿法國諾曼第鄉村，尋求寧靜。他來到一個每日可以觀看日出、日落，以及四季更迭的地方。當Covid-19疫情肆虐，他渾然不察。住在有百年歷史的農舍之中，霍克尼建立了一個鄉間工作室，整整一年，就為了等待那兒的春天。本書是一份振奮人心的宣言，展現出藝術的啟發性和轉換能力。藝評家馬丁．蓋福特再次詳實記錄他與霍克尼之間大量真實又睿智的對話，並收錄霍克尼在諾曼第繪製的精選i-Pad新作品，以及梵谷、莫內和布呂爾等藝術家的繪畫，來輔助說明其對藝術的新體悟。霍克尼再次為我們展現強大的魅力，以及他旺盛的好奇心，如何推著他逆勢而行六十年，從不在意任何藝術評論及他人眼光，也不在意歷史是否會將他記上一筆。現在他深深被法國北部的土地吸引著，這裡的光線、色彩、空間、水、樹木和帶給人的一切感知，都使他著迷不已。這次霍克尼不只要教我們觀看藝術的方法，還有更多更多的東西，包括生活。【春暖推薦】（依姓名筆畫順序）王俊傑︱臺北市立美術館館長周世雄︱當代藝術家徐麗婷︱政大應物系兼任助理教授陳鳳馨︱News98電台「財經起床號」黃一文︱繪本作家黃郁婷 Yuty︱植物風格師 、 作家楊永源︱英國倫敦⼤學藝術史博士駱麗真︱台北當代藝術館館長戴映萱︱藝術評論工作者顏雪花︱亞洲文化協會（ACC）南三三小集執行長「I like David Hockney, just like I like candies.」──周世雄︱當代藝術家「閱讀這本書就像是經歷一場精彩的藝術講座。大衛•霍克尼對大自然源源不絕的好奇心與觀察力，讓他在疫情肆虐的隔離生活中依舊充滿活力。我們在他與朋友睿智又溫暖的對話中，可以感受到藝術不只是掛在牆上的畫作，而是實實在在的生活體驗。」──徐麗婷︱政大應物系兼任助理教授「這是一本適合所有圖像工作者的書。大衛.霍克尼對觀看的熱愛與創作實踐，豐富的視覺經驗提取出來的語言，讓藝術不在只屬於天賦者，藉由文字讀者同樣能享受擴展所見的快樂。」──黃一文︱繪本作家「兩位對藝術有深厚見解的老先生，在疫情期間依舊熱烈的討論創作與人生見聞，與其說是一本人物的側寫，更像一部幽默又睿智的電影劇本。」──黃郁婷 Yuty︱植物風格師 、 作家「大衛．霍克尼簡單直覺的構圖充滿感情，其妍麗浪漫的色彩又表現得非常有效率，他的作品影響後世並左右現代美學。他晚年的畫作
