David Hockney — The Grand Canyon looking North, Arizona, September
David Hockney

The Grand Canyon looking North, Arizona, September

A sweeping photographic collage by David Hockney captures the vast grandeur of the Grand Canyon as seen looking northward in September, assembling multiple photographic fragments into a dynamic, layered composition. Hockney's signature Cubist-inspired approach to photography, which he called "joiners," disrupts conventional perspective, allowing the viewer to experience the canyon's immense scale and rugged terrain across multiple viewpoints simultaneously. Presented in the artist's original frame, the work reflects Hockney's ongoing exploration of time, perception, and the relationship between the human eye and the natural landscape.
