"The pictures that I have chosen for this exhibition are ones that, it seems to me, come direct from the heart, down the arm. And I like that." David Hockney

This stunning book brings together images from the largest collection of Turner watercolours the Tate has ever mounted, including a room specially selected by David Hockney, and is a souvenir of the exhibition Hockney on Turner Watercolours at Tate Britain.
In an exclusive interview with the curator of the exhibition, David Blayney Brown, David Hockney comments on his predecessor's life and art, presenting his own choice of Turner's remarkable colour studies and beginnings the works in which Turner explored the colour harmonies, compositions and patterns of light and shade for his finished watercolours.
The influence of Turner on Hockney's recent return to painting the English landscape is also discussed in this insightful and revealing book.
