David Hockney and Stephen Fry discuss the language of colour

Fry's English Delight

Available for over a year

David Hockney and Stephen Fry continue their conversation about the language of colour. They chat about how the way we think about colour has changed through history - from the colourful ancient world to the black and white world of photography to the intensely colourful world of the movies. Can we match the intensity of a colour we’ve seen with a memory or a word?
