The Yosemite Suite 24 by David Hockney, created in 2010, is an iPad drawing printed on wove paper. This artwork depicts a landscape of Yosemite National Park, featuring rolling hills and towering mountains which are suggested with simple blue lines. As part of Hockney's exploration of digital media, it demonstrates his innovative use of technology to capture the park's natural features with vibrant colours and bold lines.
The composition features a tranquil scene with undulating hills in the foreground and majestic mountains in the background, all under a clear blue sky.
