Meaning & Analysis

Hodgkin created Indian View E after his return to the United Kingdom from one of his many, yearly trips in India. The image captures a fleeting view from a train window the artist had throughout his journey. While in many prints of the series Hodgkin uses colour to suggest a certain landscape, here the palette of colours do little to help a visual analysis: maybe a night view of a field? In any case, Hodgkin would resist literal interpretations of his images, and would privilege instead that the viewer focused on the emotional response elicited by the print.

As John McEwen stated: “If some of Hodgkin’s images seem hermetic, encapsulating a meaning known only to the artist, it may be because we look too eagerly for signs of the recognisable rather than allowing the colour and dorm to affect us gradually.”

  • 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.
