David Hockney’s Untitled No. 610 (Snow Window) - often dated 23rd December 2010 though sometimes discussed in relation to works from 2009-10 - is a refined example of the artist’s pioneering exploration of digital drawing and seasonal landscape.

Created originally on an iPad looking out from his bedroom window, the composition captures the delicate, snow‑laden branches against a luminous sky. The image was translated into an 8‑colour archival ink‑jet print on cotton‑fibre paper, issued in a limited edition of 250 and hand‑signed and dated by Hockney, situating the piece at the intersection of traditional printmaking and contemporary digital media.

From an art historical perspective, this work belongs to a significant phase in Hockney’s late career where he embraced new technologies - first the iPhone and then the larger iPad screen - as legitimate tools for mark‑making and landscape representation. His My Window series records fleeting atmospheric moments in East Yorkshire through this digital lens, translating immediate perceptions of light, colour, and form into prints that retain the spontaneity of their origins. This fusion of modern digital processes with the venerable tradition of landscape art reflects Hockney’s ongoing investigation into how artists perceive and depict nature, challenging conventional hierarchies between analogue and digital media and underscoring his status as a key figure in the evolution of contemporary visual expression.
