Web Author Description
webLongDescription The British artist Howard Hodgkin (b. 1932) is now acknowledged as one of the great painters of modern times and one of the most original colourists of the twentieth century. He has represented Britain at the Venice Biennale and won the Turner Prize for Contemporary Art in 1985. His extraordinary paintings exist at the margin between representation and abstraction: bright visions shot through with hints of recognizable form. The cryptic intensity of Hodgkin's art stems from the artist's self-confessed desire to be true to his own feelings, to paint his passions and fears, his aspirations and anxieties. In this film Hodgkin explains that he takes a transient emotion and struggles to transform it into something concrete and lasting. 'Memory,' he says, 'is probably the principal subject of all my pictures.' The artist talks about his use of colour, scale, materials, titles and framing, his choice of themes, the artists that he admires, his experience of being a painter, and the passions and preoccupations that lie behind his art.
