British Vogue’s August issue explores the theme of “reset” with not one, but 14 covers created by the UK’s renowned artists and photographers. One such version is David Hockney’s serene painting of a wheat field.

The theme aims to offer a glimmer of hope as the world is still in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. Each cover art presents a local landscape favored by the artist. For Hockney, this was the wheat field near Fridaythorpe in Yorkshire.

The August issue also includes an essay, titled All Across the Land, by Helen Macdonald, with the theme of “reset” in mind. Photographer Nadine Ijewere’s cover was also featured on the publication’s Instagram page, and the photo of Carbost, Isle of Skye, was shot using her iPhone camera. Take a look at both covers below.

For the August 2020 issue, #BritishVogue asked some of Britain’s most acclaimed photographers and artists to turn to the natural world and share their take on the idea of “reset”. Submitting imagery of nature in all its glory from around the UK, the series of 14 special covers spans #DavidHockney’s ‘Wheat field near Fridaythorpe’ artwork (pictured), #NadineIjewere’s breathtaking image of the Isle of Skye, as well as striking urban landscapes from #TimWalker and #JuergenTeller. Later in the year, an auction of original prints, kindly donated by the artists, will be held in aid of Covid-19 relief charities. See the full portfolio in the new issue, on newsstands and available for digital download Friday 3 July. And click the link in bio to read more about Hockney's cover image.
