Description / Expertise

Howard Hodgkin is one of the outstanding colourists in contemporary art.
‘Without its title, Realism… might stand as a beautiful, even poetic, gestural abstraction. Lose the title and we lose its resonant paradox: this is a realistic painting of a specifically hued abstract mark, or it is a representational painting of the emotions realism incites in the artist.’ (Daniel Kunitz, Modern Painters 2003)
