In Bradford's year as UK City of Culture visit two exhibitions in the city of Hockney's birth displaying his landscapes and other works.

In the morning we will visit Cartwright Hall where his paintings reveal his local origins, and subsequent technical development and international recognition. We then move to the National Science and Media Museum in central Bradford to see the new David Hockney: Pieced Together exhibition. This includes Hockney's video installation, The Four Seasons: Woldgate Woods, made in East Yorkshire.
