David Hockney ipad drawings
I can’t for the life of me put Hockney images on this page but the website links work well.
David Hockney wowed the art world when he first started showing his ipad paintings. He has really embraced the technology and apparently said if Picasso and Van Gogh had the technology they would use it to!
The works that I am already familiar with are his landscapes like this one on his website and on the Annely Juda Gallery website. This New York times article is quite interesting and has a good link to some other works, I did some searching and found some really lovely flower drawings like these. I love the marks, in the wild flower drawing, they really represent the scratchyness and wildness of the meadow
The video shows how the ipad has enabled Hockney to display work in an entirely new way. This looks like an almost cinematic experience, rather than walking around the gallery, images on the screen are constantly changing. I think that this is important for ipad drawings as they are created by light, they work better viewed this way rather than prints of the image.
David Hockney uses an app called Brushes that I have installed to experiment with. I am also using an app called Paper by 53, I received a 53 Pencil for my birthday- an electronic stylus that unlocks some interesting in app features. This is an early Linda Baker iPad drawing.
