About the Work
About Eye
This print by Sir Howard Hodgkins leans more toward the figurative than many of his paintings but reflects his distinctive style of broad, abstracted strokes, vivid colors, and an interesting exploitation of scale.

The recipient of the 1985 Turner Prize and grudgingly knighted in 1992, Howard Hodgkin is recognized as a seasoned champion of British art. Born into a well-to-do English family, Sir Gordon Howard Eliot Hodgkin was surrounded by collectors from a young age, which allegedly made his decision to become an artist all the more difficult thanks to the suffocation of a family of critics.
Arguably maintaining a stylistically consistent body of work throughout his over fifty-year career, Hodgkin's work hovers between the abstract and the semi-abstract. It can be easily recognized by the lushly colored, deceivingly careless-looking brushstrokes that appear frozen in space on over-scaled colorscapes spilling over rustic, wooden frames, and canvases.
