Meaning & Analysis
Red, Blue And Green Flowers by David Hockney, created in July 1986, is a home-made print in two parts. This vibrant piece, executed on 120g Arches rag paper, depicts stylised flowers in red, blue, and green split vertically between the two portrait pieces of paper. Hockney utilised an office colour copy machine to layer colours individually, showcasing his innovative approach to printmaking within his broader oeuvre.
The print's composition features abstracted floral forms rendered in vivid red, blue, and green hues, juxtaposed against geometric shapes in the vase in the lower half of the composition. Hockney's use of an office colour copy machine to layer colours individually highlights his innovative technique, which allowed for a unique texture and depth, distinguishing it from conventional prints.
The piece is part of a limited edition of 59, each signed and numbered by the artist, underscoring its exclusivity and significance. Red, Blue And Green Flowers not only captures Hockney's inventive approach but also aligns with his broader exploration of everyday subjects through a contemporary lens, making it a notable addition to his celebrated body of work.
