David Hockney – Brussels – Palais des Beaux Arts

Description

David Hockney, Brussels – Palais des Beaux Arts is an original signed poster from 1992.  This poster features the Hockney painting ‘Montcalm Interior with Two Dogs’ from 1988.

Lit with the bright glow of California sunshine, Montcalm Interior with 2 Dogs from 1988 has both profound emotive depth and peerless formal execution from the inimitable oeuvre of David Hockney. Painted in the same year as the artist’s first, critically acclaimed U.S. retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, this exquisite painting is a truly exceptional example of the rich color palette, complex compositional structure, and intimately significant subject matter that characterize the artist’s most iconic masterpieces; further testifying to the caliber of the present work, Montcalm Interior with 2 Dogs was prominently featured in the artist’s widely acclaimed 1992 retrospective David Hockney, organized by Fundación Juan March, Madrid and traveling to both the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels and the Palau de la Virreina, Barcelona. Amongst the most exquisitely tender renderings Hockney would create of his beloved home on Montcalm Avenue, Montcalm Interior with 2 Dogs brings the viewer into the artist’s personal habitat—replete with the curiously watching gaze of a beloved dachshund below a plush scarlet chaise lounge—with the virtuosic painterly genius and zest that distinguish the very best of Hockney’s remarkable painterly output.
