Yosemite No. 13, 2010: iPad print by David Hockney

Back to: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 13 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition depicts a mist-covered Yosemite landscape, with towering pale green cliffs and a central waterfall framed by sketch-like tree forms and a foreground of colourful cars and figures. Hockney combines loose digital linework with layered tonal contrasts to create atmosphere and depth across the scene, while the inclusion of human activity introduces scale and movement within the vast landscape. The work reflects Hockney’s continued exploration of perspective, observation, and the expressive possibilities of digital drawing.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite marked an important development in Hockney’s digital practice, demonstrating how contemporary technology could expand the visual language of landscape art. Produced during the artist’s engagement with Yosemite National Park, the series captures changing weather, light, and spatial relationships with immediacy and precision. The Yosemite works are now regarded among the most significant digital landscapes within Hockney’s wider body of prints and editions, reinforcing his influence on contemporary digital drawing.
