8th January 2011 (The Arrival of Spring) by David Hockney

8th January 2011 is a single work from The Arrival of Spring -  a 49-part detailed study of the changing seasons in Woldgate, near Bridlington, East Yorkshire. Each separate image depicts a specific day between January and June 2011, encouraging us to look closely at the natural world and take joy from it. Hockney drew this arresting and intimate series on his iPad and believes it is one of his major works.

We have produced 9 different Arrival of Spring posters, which look beautiful hung as a set. We have also produced a set of postcards of the entire 49-piece Arrival of Spring. 

The frames we have chosen for these posters are inspired by the frames chosen by the artist for the original Arrival of Spring images currently on show at Salts Mill.
