    Yosemite No. 1, 2010

    Yosemite No. 1  is part of a 25-edition print release for Hockney's stunning Yosemite Suite. This piece captures the iconic Ahwahnee Hotel, framed by vast, purple-tinged cliffs and bordered by tall pines that ground the architecture within its natural setting.
     
    Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite fuses digital innovation with Hockney’s deep-rooted landscape tradition. The series marks a pivotal moment in his career — demonstrating how technology can expand the possibilities of composition, colour, and immediacy.
