Howard Hodgkin – In Tangier, 1991 – Screen-print

Color Screenprint on Huntsman Velvet paper - Signed Numbered and Dated

In Tangier by Howard Hodgkin, created in 1991, is a vibrant color screen print that captures the artist's characteristic use of expressive brushstrokes and bold colors. The composition features a central, sweeping green shape reminiscent of palm fronds, set against a lively backdrop of deep reds, oranges, and blues. The thick, gestural brushstrokes and layered textures create a sense of movement, evoking the warmth and energy of the Moroccan city of Tangier. Hodgkin’s ability to convey place and atmosphere through abstraction is evident in this piece, as the dynamic colors and forms suggest a tropical, sun-drenched environment. Signed, numbered, and dated, this limited edition print on Huntsman Velvet paper is a striking example of Hodgkin’s emotive and atmospheric work.

Howard Hodgkin (United Kingdom, 1932–2017) was a British painter and printmaker renowned for his vibrant, abstract works that evoke emotional intensity. His distinctive style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and rich color palettes, often blurred the lines between representation and abstraction. Hodgkin's contributions to contemporary art were recognized with the Turner Prize in 1985.

Limited Edition Print

Often associated with abstraction, Howard Hodgkin was a highly acclaimed painter and printmaker known for his rich interplay between ground, colour and gesture. Hodgkin was heavily influenced by the works of such artists as Matisse and Picasso and his own works were almost always painted upon the backs of old picture frames – this, along with his use of vibrant colour and expressive brush marks, created an interesting relationship between the painted frame and its base; Rain and Indian Subject Blue are just two examples of this technique. Asides from painting, Hodgkin was an accomplished print-maker – his printing was often labour-intensive and intricate, as demonstrated in his Venetian Views series; this work consists of four different prints depicting Venice at four separate times of day – Venice, Afternoon is perhaps the most notable among this series as it is displayed across sixteen separate sheets and the rich colour used throughout gives the work a painterly effect.

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
