Meaning & Analysis

Red Palm is the coloured version of Black Palm. Both were made from three aluminium plates, on top of which Hodgkin painted with his dynamic and brash brushstrokes. While the painterly and gestural marks may seem common now, and have become distinctive of Hodgkin’s prints, the situation was rather different when the artist began his career in printmaking. In fact, at the time, painting directly on the printing plates to give a painterly quality to the paper was highly frowned upon, with most print workshops and artists preferring a visual language more similar to advertising, with simple, clearly-identifiable figures. This was not the case for Hodgkin. The artist loved to endow his prints with the same effects as his colourful and abstracted paintings.

While his first prints still retained the clear influence of abstract art, dominated by contained geometrical figures, it is in prints like Red Palm that Hodgkin’s full creative energy can be perceived.

  • British artist Howard Hodgkin was a luminary of abstraction. Representing Britain at the 1984 Venice Biennale, winning the Turner Prize in 1985, and knighted in 1992, Hodgkin established a legacy by pushing the boundaries of convention. Indian culture and painting heavily influenced the artist's work, infiltrating it most obviously in his bold colour choices. Evoking the bliss of exotic travels and past memories, Hodgkin's abstract representations provide an intimate insight into his world. The vibrancy of his palette and expression of the brushstrokes distinguished the artist from his contemporaries, seeing him gain international recognition.
