  • "I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"

    - David Hockney

    Measuring 37" x 28", Yosemite No. 17 presents a striking and contemporary view of the iconic Yosemite landscape with a surprising twist—a row of cars parked at the forefront, juxtaposed against the serene backdrop of water and distant mountains. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the bold red and blue of the vehicles, contrasts with the softer, more muted tones of the natural scenery, creating a dynamic composition that merges modernity with nature. Hockney's digital technique is evident in the fluid lines and abstracted forms, capturing a moment that feels both real and imagined, reflecting his unique perspective on the intersection of human presence and the natural world.
