  • "I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"

    - David Hockney

    Measuring 37" x 28", Yosemite No. 15 offers a unique perspective of Yosemite's iconic landscape, blending natural majesty with human interaction. In the foreground, figures are depicted with minimal detail, their presence adding a sense of scale and liveliness to the scene. The backdrop showcases the grandeur of Yosemite’s towering mountains, rendered in soft purples and greens that contrast beautifully with the bright yellows and earthy tones of the valley floor. Hockney's use of digital media to create this piece infuses it with a modern sensibility, yet the timeless beauty of the natural landscape remains at its core.
