  • "I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"

    - David Hockney

    Measuring 37" x 28", Yosemite No. 16 offers a serene, intimate view of the forest within Yosemite, focusing on the intricate forms of trees enveloped in a lush, green environment. The artwork's monochromatic palette emphasizes the texture and movement within the forest, with delicate, sketch-like lines giving life to the trees and undergrowth. Hockney's digital technique imbues the scene with a contemporary feel, while still capturing the timeless essence of nature. This piece exemplifies Hockney’s ability to convey the tranquility and depth of the natural world through his innovative approach to landscape art.
