Meaning & Analysis
Eine, Deux, Tres (complete set) by David Hockney, created in 1990-91, comprises three lithographs. Each piece in this signed and numbered set of 35 showcases Hockney's abstract style with intricate forms and a vibrant colour palette. This series exemplifies Hockney's engagement with theatrical and abstract narratives, continuing his exploration of form and colour in printmaking that began in the 1960s.
This complete set of three lithographs, Eine, Deux, Tres, created by Hockney in 1990-91, showcases his skilled approach to abstract composition and colour. Each lithograph, printed on Rives BFK paper and published by Tyler Graphics, Ltd., features a complex interplay of geometric shapes and patterns. The use of a darker, richer colour palette in Tres contrasts with the lighter tones in Eine and Deux, creating a visual progression through the series. Hockney's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the layering of colours and forms, achieved through the lithographic process. The series reflects his long-standing engagement with theatre, which began in 1975 with his set designs for Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress. These works build upon Hockney's earlier explorations of abstraction, such as his Very New Paintings from the 1990s, while maintaining his characteristic bold use of colour and form.
