Tekst achterflap

The exhibition David Hockney. The Song of the Earth is centered on Mahler's symphony, composed in 1907-1908, celebrating nature as an essential element of life and an infinite source of inspiration.

It brings together works by major artists - Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) and Edvard Munch (1863-1944) - around the figure of David Hockney, as well as a selection of paintings by Symbolist painters whose landscapes perfectly resonate with the themes explored in the symphony. The spectacle of the seasons and the eternally recurring cycle of nature plunges humanity into a melancholy in the face of its finite nature.
