About this puzzle
Hockney marveled at how Van Gogh saw nature and revealed the way his paintings were made. The exhibition, for example, draws a direct sight line from Hockney's The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire (2011) to Van Gogh's Undergrowth (1889). Hockney's panorama of an enormous forest directs our gaze downward towards the small stuff: newborn grasses, weeds, and blossoms making their way into the world. Van Gogh's Undergrowth, a comparatively modest-size painting also concentrates on a patch of forest exploding new life. The shimmering light and virtuosity of every Van Gogh brushstroke vibrates with the rapid energy driving the artist's hand, so much so that the undergrowth seems alive, even today.
