random unverifiable "fact" about him apparently he could see the piano keys (or notes) as colours. I need to read his letters to his brother,and vice versa for a clearer understanding.
This condition is called synethesia. I had a student a few years back with it...not everyone with this condition experiences the same range...but, for her, and David Hockney, when they hear a sound they can see a colored texture in their mind. All numbers and letters appear to her in their own colors...cool, huh?
Often distracted cat carer
building far too many castles in the air,
odd assortment of skills,
smarty pants with a horizontal attitude to life,
procrastinator extraordinaire,
used to crisis management

Thanks Patricia x
I will now have to explore David Hockney's work
especially as I love Celia Birtwell's textiles and Ossie Clark's clothes
