Yosemite No. 24, 2010: iPad print by David Hockney from the Yosemite Suite

Back to: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 24 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition presents a simplified Yosemite National Park landscape, featuring a pale yellow rocky plateau in the foreground alongside sparse trees, low bushes, and stylised blue mountain forms beneath a clear sky interrupted by a single cloud. Hockney uses layered digital brushwork and subtle tonal contrasts to create openness and atmosphere across the landscape, while the simplified forms reinforce the scale and stillness of the scene. The work reflects Hockney’s continued exploration of perspective, colour, and the expressive possibilities of digital drawing.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite marked a significant development in Hockney’s digital practice, combining direct landscape observation with contemporary technology. Produced during the artist’s engagement with Yosemite National Park, the series captures changing light, texture, and spatial relationships with immediacy and precision. The Yosemite works are now regarded among the most important digital landscapes within Hockney’s wider body of prints and editions, demonstrating how digital media could expand the visual language of contemporary landscape art.
