Meaning & Analysis

Featuring a vase of flowers that appears to be haunted by its own shadow, this is one of Hockney’s more unsettling still lifes. The vase itself is tall and features small handles on either side of its neck, recalling an ancient Greek style of amphora. It appears to contain a bunch of daffodils or perhaps irises, pushed into close proximity by the narrow opening. Light bounces off the vessel suggesting it is glazed and the shadow suggests the light comes from an unseen source on the left.

Dating to 1969 the work is in keeping with the etchings found in Illustrations For Six Fairy Tales From The Brothers Grimm as well as works such as Tulips from 1973 where the flowers are kept in monochrome, their delicate stems and blooms depicted with fine lines. The background is bare and the flowers appear to be resting against a wall on the floor. There is no discernible table top or cloth, as in other still lifes with flowers, and the work would seem a little unmoored were it not for the careful attention paid to the petals and the surface of the vase. The shadow itself is expertly rendered as a haze of grey which appears to take the form of a figure in its abstraction. It also serves to evoke the sharp white light of California that Hockney sought out in the mid 60s after having seen it in Hollywood movies.

  • British-born artist David Hockney is a kaleidoscopic force in the art world. Born in 1937, Hockney's vibrant palette and innovative techniques have left an indelible mark on contemporary art. A pioneer of the British Pop Art movement in the 1960s, he seamlessly transitioned through various styles, from photo collages to vivid landscapes. Renowned for his exploration of light and space, Hockney's versatility extends to painting, printmaking, photography, and stage design. A captivating storyteller, his works often capture the essence of modern life with a playful yet profound touch. With a career spanning decades, Hockney remains an enduring visionary in the ever-evolving art world.
