"I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"
- David Hockney
Measuring 37" x 28", Yosemite No. 13 presents a unique perspective of Yosemite, where nature and human presence subtly coexist. The towering waterfall cascading down the mountain is the focal point, rendered in soft, misty hues of green and gray, which evoke a tranquil and ethereal atmosphere. The scene is grounded by the inclusion of cars and figures at the base of the composition, emphasizing the scale and grandeur of the natural landscape. Hockney’s use of digital media allows for an almost sketch-like quality, capturing the essence of the moment with fluid lines and a minimalist color palette. This piece highlights Hockney’s ability to blend the everyday with the sublime, creating a contemporary interpretation of a timeless natural wonder. -
