Yosemite No. 20, 2010: iPad print on paper by David Hockney

Yosemite No. 20 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition portrays a sweeping Yosemite National Park vista, featuring a bright yellow-leaved tree in the foreground set before layered green hills and sunlit mountain forms rendered in soft blue and cream tones beneath a pale sky. Hockney uses expressive digital brushwork and vivid tonal contrasts to create depth, atmosphere, and movement throughout the landscape, while the layered composition reinforces the scale and openness of the scene. The work reflects Hockney’s continued exploration of perspective, colour, and the expressive possibilities of digital drawing.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite marked an important development in Hockney’s digital practice, combining direct landscape observation with contemporary technology. Produced during the artist’s engagement with Yosemite National Park, the series captures changing light, texture, 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, demonstrating how digital media could expand the visual language of contemporary landscape art.
