  • "I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"

    - David Hockney

    Measuring 37" x 28", Yosemite No. 22 captures the grandeur of Yosemite with a towering rock face dominating the background, juxtaposed against a vibrant yellow tree in the foreground. The composition is marked by Hockney's use of digital brushstrokes to create texture and depth, bringing out the contrast between the sheer, solid rock and the delicate, leafy tree. The mix of natural elements—rocks, greenery, and the striking yellow foliage—creates a dynamic yet harmonious scene, reflecting Hockney's ability to blend traditional landscape themes with contemporary digital techniques. The piece exudes a sense of both strength and tranquility, characteristic of Yosemite’s awe-inspiring beauty.
