    David Hockney Coloured Flowers Made of Paper and Ink (M.C.A.T. 113)

    Flowers Made of Paper and Ink (1971) is a refined lithograph by David Hockney that reimagines the traditional flower still life through a modern lens. In this elegant composition, Hockney depicts an arrangement of daisies, cornflowers, and poppies bursting from a slender glass vase in vivid reds, blues, yellows, and whites. While rooted in art historical convention, the print playfully questions illusion and authorship, hinting that these blooms may be creations of “paper and ink” rather than nature. The work exemplifies Hockney’s mastery of perspective, texture, and wit within the lithographic medium.

  • About David Hockney Coloured Flowers Made of Paper and Ink

    Each flower leans outward with convincing weight, adding realism to an otherwise graphic and stylised arrangement. Subtle blue and green lines within the vase distort the stems as if seen through thick glass, while a carefully placed shadow suggests depth and directional light. The crosshatched backdrop contrasts geometric structure with the softness of the petals. At the base, upright pencils point toward the bouquet, a tongue-in-cheek nod to the act of drawing and the artist’s presence. Hockney revisited the composition in monochrome, underscoring his conceptual interest in medium and representation. By engaging with the long tradition of floral still life, from Dutch masters to Andy Warhol, Hockney offers a dynamic alternative, preserving natural elegance while embracing modernist experimentation.
