Meaning & Analysis
Tres (End Of Triple) is a lithograph in colours by British artist, David Hockney, and is the last in the series of three prints. Executed in 1990 and released in an edition of 35, this print presents a similar composition composed of abstract forms to the two preceding it, yet all are in varying colour combinations.
Seemingly non-representational in its degree of abstraction, the irregular shapes comprising Très (End Of Triple) do seem to be derived from recognisable sources. Yet, although appearing unrelated to the natural world, Hockney is depicting a lake and river, which snakes unnaturally about the painting. For example, in the lower third of the composition, there are sailboats sailing on a lake, with a white picket fence surrounding it. Hockney has undoubtedly been influenced by Cubism masters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the creation of the Eine, Deux, Très series.
This is most clearly seen in the adoption of multiple-point perspective, enabling the viewer to feel as if they are moving around within the painting. Through utilising various intertwining and rigid planes, Hockney has created the illusion of volume and space, much like the Cubist masters skillfully did.
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.
