Peter Doig
Scottish · b. 1959

Doig creates richly colored landscape paintings that capture the atmospheric beauty of natural environments with a similarly vibrant and expressive use of color. His works share Hockney's focus on lush foliage, winding paths, and the emotional quality of seasonal landscapes rendered with bold, distinctive mark making.

Wayne Thiebaud
American · b. 1920

Thiebaud employed vivid, saturated colors and a playful contemporary sensibility in his landscape works that closely parallels Hockney's joyful colorful aesthetic. His California landscapes feature dynamic compositional lines and bright greens and earth tones that echo the visual energy found in this Yorkshire countryside print.

Tom Thomson
Canadian · b. 1877

Thomson's paintings of the Canadian wilderness feature intensely colored foliage, reddish brown vegetation, and dynamic winding compositions through natural landscapes that closely mirror the visual qualities of this spring scene. His expressive brushwork and vivid seasonal color palettes share the same celebratory approach to landscape that defines this Hockney print.
