Meaning & Analysis
Yosemite II, October 5th 2011 by David Hockney is an iPad drawing printed on six sheets of paper. Created in 2011, this artwork depicts the landscape of Yosemite National Park, featuring mountains partially obscured by mist and a dense forest in the foreground. The piece is part of Hockney's Yosemite series, which explores natural landscapes through digital media, reflecting his ongoing interest in technological innovation in art-making.
This work juxtaposes a detailed forest in the foreground with softer, mist-covered mountains in the background, creating a sense of depth. Hockney's use of the iPad allowed for en plein air work with greater flexibility, enabling him to capture transient light and atmospheric effects more readily than traditional media might allow.
By applying digital techniques to traditional landscape subjects, Hockney creates a dialogue between historical artistic practices and contemporary methods. This approach offers a fresh perspective on familiar subjects and positions the Yosemite series as a notable evolution in Hockney's exploration of landscape representation, which has been a recurring theme in his work since the 1960s.
