    David Hockney Amaryllis Vase (M.C.A.T. 266) For Sale 

    Amaryllis Vase (1984) is a signed lithograph by David Hockney from his groundbreaking Moving Focus series of 26 prints. Created during a period of artistic experimentation, the series saw Hockney translate ideas from painting, drawing, and photographic collage into the medium of lithography. Known for his vivid colour and inventive compositions, Hockney often returned to themes of still life and flowers throughout his career. In Amaryllis Vase, he transforms the traditional still-life subject into a vibrant and immersive image, demonstrating how colour, pattern, and shifting perspectives can revitalise one of the oldest genres in Western art.

  • About David Hockney Amaryllis Vase

    In Amaryllis Vase, David Hockney presents a vase of blooming flowers placed on a table, yet the familiar still-life arrangement becomes dramatically transformed through his distinctive use of colour and pattern. The flowers appear vivid and energetic, rendered in rich tones that seem to radiate across the composition. Behind them, a pink chequerboard background forms an almost hypnotic pattern, creating a sense of depth and movement that contrasts with the stillness traditionally associated with still-life painting. The layered composition allows the viewer to feel immersed in the scene, as though experiencing the presence and atmosphere of the flowers themselves. Hockney’s fluid handling of colour and tone recalls the expressive qualities of historical painting while simultaneously embracing the bold visual language of contemporary printmaking.
