This piece presents a vibrant view of Yosemite National Park, with richly detailed greenery in the foreground, stylised red-trunked trees, and distant blue cliffs and waterfalls beneath a pale, softly streaked sky.

Hockney’s use of the iPad in the Yosemite Suite reimagines how landscape can be captured, combining digital immediacy with thoughtful stylisation. The result is a collection rich in rhythm and emotional clarity.
