​

  • British artist David Hockney spent time between 2009 and 2012 capturing scenes from window in former Yorkshire home.

  • 120 of the creations are published in 2019 in the Taschen publication David Hockney: My Window. 44 images were created on Hockney's iPhone using his thumb and the rest on his iPad with a stylus.
