Howard Hodgkin: Blue Evening

Howard Hodgkin: Blue Evening presents a selection of hand-painted etchings by Howard Hodgkin (1932 – 2017) which form part of his last body of printed work, completed several months before his death in March 2017.

The six prints are from a collection entitled After All, refer to the artist’s memories and personal experiences. Declaring his art to be “representational pictures of emotional situations,” Hodgkin deliberately avoided the illustrative and remained resistant to interpretation. However, his gestural marks, vibrant colours and evocative titles, invite interpretation from our own personal encounters.
