"I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"
- David Hockney
Measuring 37" x 28", Yosemite No. 19 offers a unique perspective on the Yosemite landscape, focusing on the contrast between the vibrant green forest and a strikingly textured rock formation. The composition is dominated by the tall, slender trees that frame the central rock, their vertical lines contrasting with the organic, rounded shapes of the stone. Hockney's use of vivid colors and dynamic brushstrokes enhances the sense of depth and texture, making the rock appear almost alive within the forest. The juxtaposition of the soft green hues with the bold, almost otherworldly tones of the rock creates a visually compelling scene that invites viewers to explore the interplay between nature's elements. This piece reflects Hockney's masterful ability to merge natural beauty with digital artistry, resulting in a work that is both innovative and evocative. -
