Yosemite i October 5th, 2011

Yosemite i October 5th is part of a 12-edition print release from Hockney's acclaimed Yosemite Suite — a body of work that captures the American national park through vibrant colour, stylised forms, and rhythmic compositions. This piece captures a dramatic scene in Yosemite National Park, with bright green pines in the foreground set against swirling grey clouds, cascading mist, and the rugged textures of a mountainous cliff face

With the Yosemite Suite, Hockney extends the visual language of landscape through the intuitive interface of the iPad. The result is a collection that bridges immediacy and memory, realism and stylisation.

"I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"

- David Hockney

Measuring 93" x 70", Yosemite I, October 5th, 2011 presents a breathtaking view of Yosemite, where towering trees with vibrant green foliage stand against the backdrop of mist-shrouded mountains. The interplay of light and shadow, enhanced by the swirling clouds that partially obscure the rugged cliffs, creates a dynamic and atmospheric composition. The contrasting colors—lush greens, deep reds, and muted grays—contribute to the depth and drama of the scene, exemplifying Hockney's ability to blend digital techniques with the timeless beauty of the natural world.
