So when COVID-19 and lockdown struck, it made little difference to life at La Grande Cour, the centuries- old Normandy farmhouse where Hockney set up a studio a year before, in time to paint the arrival of spring.

Painting is a continually expanding and evolving medium. The radical changes that have taken place since the 1960s and 1970s – the period that saw the shift from a modernist to a postmodernist visual language – have led to its reinvigoration as a practice, lending it an energy and diversity that persist today. In Contemporary Painting, renowned critic and art historian Suzanne Hudson offers an intelligent and original survey of the subject: a rigorous critical snapshot that brings together more than 250 renowned artists from around the world, whose ideas and aesthetics characterize the painting of our time.

Given the changing role and status of illustration in recent years, this may be as difficult to pin down as the question, ‘what 1970 (2017, Thames & Hudson) is drawing?’ Dictionary definitions have focused on the role of illustration in explaining or elucidating, augmenting information that is primarily conveyed by the written word.

It is perhaps this latter aspect that is the key to defining the word ‘illustration’.
