Meaning & Analysis
Ten Palm Trees In The Mist is a lithograph created by David Hockney in 1973. This artwork depicts ten palm trees shrouded in mist, rendered in soft, muted colours. Part of Hockney's exploration of Californian landscapes, this piece exemplifies his fascination with light and atmosphere. The lithograph is printed on Arches Cover mould-made paper and signed by the artist.
This atmospheric work showcases Hockney's adept use of lithography to capture the ethereal quality of mist enveloping palm trees. The composition features a minimalist arrangement of ten slender palms, their forms subtly emerging through the haze. Hockney's muted palette enhances the serene mood, while the lithograph's delicate texture reflects his meticulous attention to light and shadow interplay. This work is part of Hockney's broader exploration of Californian landscapes, a recurring theme in his art. The atmospheric quality draws parallels to Impressionist light studies, particularly Monet's work, which offers a contrast to Hockney's typically bold approach to colour.
