Garrowby Hill 1998

poster size:64x61cm (full Poster)

David Hockney first gained recognition for his Pop Art paintings, drawings and prints in the 1960s, but he has also considered the traditional subject of landscape throughout his career. In the 1990s he returned to his native Yorkshire and was inspired by the countryside, yet he interpreted it with an acknowledgment of early 20th century artists. The vibrant palette and bold brushstrokes of this work recall Matisse and Van Gogh rather than the meticulously rendered compositions typical of his own earlier work. The high horizon and distant patchwork of the Yorkshire moors suggest the artist’s view was from a striking and distant vantage point.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, USA, is home to the original work and also produced this vibrant poster.
