Welcome, from Art and Sports portfolio (Winter Sports)
A vibrant lithograph by British painter Howard Hodgkin, *Welcome* bursts with his signature bold, gestural brushstrokes rendered in rich, overlapping hues that evoke warmth and movement. Created as part of the *Art and Sports* portfolio focused on Winter Sports, the work translates Hodgkin's emotionally charged painting style into the lithographic medium with striking effect. Printed in colours on Rives BFK paper, the full sheet retains the spontaneous, expressive energy that defines Hodgkin's celebrated approach to abstraction.
