Howard Hodgkin — After Luke Howard, from For John Constable
Howard Hodgkin

After Luke Howard, from For John Constable

A vibrant lithograph by Howard Hodgkin, this work pays homage to Luke Howard, the pioneering meteorologist who first classified clouds, within a suite dedicated to the great landscape painter John Constable. Hodgkin's characteristically bold, gestural brushstrokes are translated into richly layered colours, evoking the atmospheric qualities of sky and light that preoccupied both Howard and Constable. Printed on T H Saunders paper, the work exemplifies Hodgkin's ability to distil emotion and natural sensation into abstract form.

Medium
Lithograph in colours, on T H Saunders paper, the full sheet.
