"In Front of House Looking South" is the last in a series of four inkjet prints on paper by David Hockney, capturing his 17th-century rustic home, Le Grande Cour, in Normandy, France—his personal paradise. This piece is part of his third nature-focused series, "The Arrival of Spring, Normandy," where Hockney portrays the changing seasons and the vibrant nature surrounding his beloved home, to which he relocated full-time in 2019. This artwork offers an intimate and familiar view of the southern side of his thatched cottage. Though the setting could represent any picturesque countryside home, Hockney infuses "In Front of House Looking South" with a unique charm and warmth. This piece is an intimate homage to his home and the "quintessentially Norman" area, which has remained true to its roots. By drawing parallels to Monet’s Impressionist depictions of the nearby Giverny region, Hockney creates a dialogue about place, memory, and art history.
