    Yosemite No. 20, 2010

    Yosemite No. 20 is part of a 25-edition print release for Hockney's stunning Yosemite Suite. This piece portrays a sweeping Yosemite National Park vista, featuring a bright yellow-leaved tree in the foreground, layered green hills, and sunlit mountains rendered in soft blues and creams beneath a pale sky.
     
    Hockney’s iPad-based Yosemite works merge colour, gesture, and immediacy with painterly control. The series expands the possibilities of landscape art while staying rooted in observational detail. 
  • "I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"

    - David Hockney

    Measuring 37" x 28", Yosemite No. 20 captures the vast expanse of Yosemite's natural beauty with a particular focus on the layering of mountains, trees, and valleys. Dominated by a bright yellow tree in the foreground, the composition draws the viewer's eye from the vivid foreground details to the soft, pastel-toned mountains in the background. Hockney's use of digital techniques allows for a dynamic interplay of textures and colors, creating a scene that feels both expansive and intimate. The piece exemplifies Hockney's ability to combine traditional landscape themes with modern digital art, resulting in a fresh and contemporary interpretation of Yosemite's grandeur.
