Howard Hodgkin Gossip 1944 Lincoln Center Art Print
Artist: Howard HodgkinTitle: Gossip, 1944Medium: SerigraphEdition: Out of 1000Publisher: Lincoln Center/ List Posters and Prints * Image size: 29" x 41"Sheet size: 36" x 44"Condition: ExcellentBiography * Howard Hodgkin's paintings often seek to convey memories of * encounters with friends and frequently carry titles alluding to specific places * and events such as Dinner at West Hill (1966) and Goodbye to the Bay of Naples * (1980–82). Hodgkin himself has said that he paints "representational * pictures of emotional situations," a statement that fixes him firmly as an * advocate of the expressionist movement. Hodgkin's appeal to representationalism * prevents his categorization as an abstract expressionist - although some artists * within that movement do execute representational paintings. As * a formidable expressionist, Hodgkin occupies a lonely space somewhere between * the incandescent impressions of Turner; the powerful emotional explosiveness of * Van Gogh and the colder abstractions of Pollock, De Kooning and the late * canvases of Kline. * * * * * Despite their apparent spontaneity and usually small scale, * many of Hodgkin's paintings take years to complete, with the artist returning * to a work after a wait and then changing it or adding to it. He often paints * over the frames of his pictures, emphasising the idea of the painting as an * object. Several of his works are on wooden items, such as bread-boards or the * tops of old tables, rather than canvas. A number of his works not shown in * frames are surrounded by rectangles of simple colour. * * * *
