i went on drawing the winter trees that eventually burst into blossom. this is the stage we're at right now. meanwhile, the virus is going mad, and many people said my drawings were a great respite from what was going on. why are my ipad drawings seen as a respite from the news? well, they're obviously made by their hand, depicting the renewal that is the spring. i intend to carry on with my work, which i now see as very important. we've lost touch with nature rather foolishly, as we are part of it, not outside it. this will, in time, be over, and then what? what have we learned? i'm 83 years old — i will die. the cause of death is birth. the only real things in life are food and love — in that order — just like our little dog, ruby. i really believe this, and the source of art is love. i love life. all my love, david h." that was david hockney‘s letter to will gompertz.
