Meaning & Analysis
Peonies In A Glass Vase is an intaglio print created by David Hockney in 1998. This etching and aquatint on wove paper depicts a detailed arrangement of peonies in a transparent vase. This work is part of Hockney's series of floral studies from the late 1990s, showcasing his continued exploration of still life subjects.
This work demonstrates Hockney's technical prowess in printmaking, combining etching and aquatint techniques to create an image with varied textures and tonal depths. The composition focuses on the interplay of light and shadow, particularly evident in the rendering of the glass vase and the delicate petals of the peonies. The intaglio process allows for fine detail and tonal variations, capturing the translucency of the glass and the subtle gradations of colour in the flowers.
This print reflects Hockney's ongoing exploration of natural forms and still life subjects, a theme he has revisited throughout his career. Created in 1998, it represents a period when Hockney was dividing his time between California and Yorkshire, influencing his choice of subjects and colour palette. The print was co-published by the artist and Pace Editions Inc., New York, and printed by Maurice Payne in Los Angeles. This collaboration highlights Hockney's engagement with established printmaking studios, a practice that has contributed to the consistent quality of his print oeuvre.
