Howard Hodgkin
Street Palm

1990-91

About the Item

This is an extremely impressive example of Howard Hodgkin's printmaking. Impressive because of its vast scale for a work on paper, as well as its bold composition. 'Street Palm' is part of a group of four prints based on one of Hodgkin's favorite motifs, the palm tree. The red elements are hand-painted in egg tempera over the top of the carborundrum etching. Hodgkin had fond memories of the colorful, large-scale travel posters that were prevalent in the Paris Métro in the 1950s and '60s—symbols of a certain postwar glamour and directness he hoped to evoke with these bright and spontaneous compositions. This was created in collaboration with Master Printmaker, Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop in Wiltshire— who introduced Hodgkin to the process of using Carborundum (a mixture of carbon and silicon that lends the prints a painterly texture).
