Howard Hodgkin, Moroccan Door, 1990-91

From the Tate Gallery:

Hodgkin studied at the Camberwell School of Art and then at the Bath Academy of Art, where he later taught. He received a knighthood in 1992.Moroccan Door was inspired by a trip Hodgkin made to Morocco in 1988. He said that the large scale and legibility of the work were also inspired by the enormous travel posters in the Paris Metro which he saw as a student in the late 1950s. The printed image has been augmented with hand-coloured marks, applied by a studio assistant.

Howard Hodgkin, Clean Sheets, 1979-84

From the Tate Gallery:

One New York critic described this work as ‘restful and joyful’, while continuing, ‘we seem to have come in at the beginning of a disquieting drama between an upright and a reclining figure.’ On the content of the picture Hodgkin has stated, ‘It’s just the interior of a bedroom. But as someone neatly put it, it’s full of Friday night thoughts.’

‘My process is choreographic and sometimes rough. At the end I want the pictures to snap to attention, become animate, and light up the room. There are loose references to architecture, landscape, and textiles but the goal is to make a free space for the viewer’s imagination.’
