Meaning & Analysis
The Yosemite Suite 17 by David Hockney is a digital print created in 2010. This artwork depicts a landscape of Yosemite National Park, featuring a lake and distant mountains, with three parked cars in the foreground. Created using an iPad, this piece is part of Hockney's exploration of digital media in landscape art.
In The Yosemite Suite 17, Hockney employs digital technology to capture Yosemite's landscape. The composition juxtaposes a muted, pastel-coloured background with boldly-hued cars in the foreground, creating a visual contrast between natural and manmade. Hockney's use of the iPad and Brushes app allows for a blend of spontaneity and precision, evident in the fluid lines and rich textures. This digital medium enables rapid colour changes and layering, resulting in a vibrant quality to the scene.
The piece is part of a larger series created during Hockney's visits to Yosemite in 2010 and 2011, where he employed digital tools to paint en plein air without traditional materials. This approach allowed Hockney to respond immediately to the changing light and atmosphere of the park, capturing fleeting moments with accuracy. The inclusion of modern vehicles in the foreground creates a dialogue between the natural beauty of Yosemite and the transient presence of human visitors, reflecting on our relationship with nature in the digital age.
