The Glass Mountain by David Hockney, created in 1969, is an etching and aquatint on W S Hodgkinson paper. This artwork is part of the Illustrations For Six Fairy Tales From The Brothers Grimm series, illustrating a scene from the titular tale. In the foreground, a singular thin line delineates the ‘glass mountain’, which magnifies the Tudor building and lone tree set behind the glass.
The artwork presents a meticulously rendered glass mountain, with a quaint house and solitary tree at its base. Hockney's use of fine lines and subtle gradations creates an impression of transparency, effectively conveying the ethereal quality of the glass structure.
