David Hockney Untitled 346 (Tulips) For Sale

Untitled No. 346 is one of four Ipad drawings turned digital prints on archival paper, which Hockney presented alongside the release of his 2017 A Bigger Book; a ‘visual autobiography’ the mass scaled SUMO book by Taschen celebrates over 60 years of Hockney’s broad ranging artistic depictions, from his teenage years at Bradford School of Art, Swinging Sixties London, the winding hills of his Yorkshire hometown, Sledmere to the vibrancy of Los Angeles’ swimming pools.

Untitled No.346, similarly to the other three images, depicts a simple scene incorporating two of Hockney’s favourite passions: still life and flowers.
‘I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms every morning. We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well.’

Indeed, the four Ipad drawings are illustrative of Hockney’s broad-ranging visual language in that all four still lifes invoke new mood, emotion and memory in the audience with each viewing.

Untitled No.346 focuses on the central image, similarly to Untitled No. 329, but this ornately detailed white vase, full of pink tulip buds on verdant green stems, is set against a lavender blue background. The background vibrantly enhances the still life scene, created with digital scratches and renderings that mimic sketching yet done using the Ipad ‘brushes’ app.

In Untitled No.346 Hockney makes a bold move forward with a visual language that heavily draws on the traditional still life genre, recalling greats like Cezanne, yet simultaneously embraces new technology to advance the still life tradition and his own art about art discourse.
