クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Created in 1978, 'Santa Monica Boulevard' is a cinematic cosmopolitan vision that signals David Hockney's triumphant return to his beloved Los Angeles – and, indeed, to painting.⠀ .⠀ Saturated with bold, vivid hues, it belongs to a small group of works depicting the colourful neighbourhood outside the artist's newly-acquired studio.⠀ .⠀ Painted in conjunction with the vast six-metre-long work of the same title – held in the artist's personal collection – these theatrical urban scenes paved the way for his masterful Californian landscapes of the early 1980s.⠀ .⠀ Having spent the previous four years immersed in other media, Hockney took up his brush with fresh resolve, relishing the new, bright acrylics that he found in local paint shops.⠀ .⠀ This work, with its broad strokes, lustrous textured planes and shimmering dabs of colour, captures the artist's physical joy in the tactile qualities of paint. It is an ode to the place – and the medium – that had first sparked his imagination, and which were set to work their magic once again.⠀ .⠀ David Hockney (B.1937), 'Santa Monica Boulevard', 1978. Estimate: £1,700,000–2,500,000.⠀ .⠀ Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale — 22 October, London.⠀ .⠀⠀ #davidhockney #hockney #santamonicaboulevard #santamonica #artist #painting #20thcenturyart⠀」10月18日 5時06分
