“I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms every morning.”
—David Hockney
David Hockney, Pretty Tulips, February 1970 from Twenty Photographic Pictures by David Hockney, 1976. Image: Richard Schmidt, Artwork: © David Hockney Since the 1960s, flowers have been a central theme of David Hockney’s work. From etchings to lithographs to iPad drawings, the humble vase of flowers has been under constant review by the British artist. A keen student of this art historical tradition, Hockney was initially drawn to Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflower painting’s from the late 1880s. Hockney’s exploration of the floral still life as a formal composition further provided him a means of exploring medium, specifically diverse printmaking techniques. Showcasing his mastery of the various printing methods, Hockney’s depictions of flowers are delicate and moving works exemplar of the development of his unique style, excitement regarding new printing techniques, and his endless experimentations with colour, form, and line.
