(43.5 x 53.3 cm.)- Heenk 90 in the artist's catalogue raisonne. // Howard Hodgkin's Put Out More Flags (1992) is a vivid etching and aquatint that demonstrates his expressive approach to color and form. This limited edition print combines lift-ground etching, aquatint, and carborundum techniques with extensive hand-coloring, resulting in a richly layered and textured composition. The artwork features bold, overlapping swathes of blue, yellow, green, black, and orange, each color forming abstract shapes that evoke a sense of movement and energy. The interplay between solid blocks of color and speckled textures creates visual depth, while the irregular edges of the paper contribute to its organic, painterly feel. Measuring 43.5 x 53.3 cm, this piece is hand-monogrammed, dated, and numbered by the artist, marking it as a unique testament to Hodgkin’s mastery of printmaking. Show Less
