Howard Hodgkin


Came across this wonderful exhibition of Howard Hodgkins prints in Ealing last week. I had no idea he had produced these fantastic prints and been so innovative with the techniques. I can strongly recommend a visit.
The biggest suprise was the size of some of them, often combining several pieces of paper to make pictures 60x40 inches. The clever way he had arrived at adding hand brush work at the end to transform their appearnce is masterful.
The Ealing gallery is a find as well, housed as it is in what may have been the orangry of a grand house it has been tastefully adapted to a fine exhibition space . Get a long an dhave a look.
The exhibition put together by the Barbican is touring so it may end up nearer us.
