Two's Company (a) and Two's Company (b) are a pair of richly layered etching and aquatints in colors, enhanced with hand-coloring and carborundum, printed on Somerset paper. Characteristic of Howard Hodgkin's expressive and emotive approach, the works pulse with bold, gestural sweeps of color that blur the boundaries between abstraction and personal narrative. The diptych format suggests an intimate dialogue, with each sheet functioning as both an independent composition and a counterpart to its companion.
