About this work

David Hockney made this print in 1973. It’s a simple image of snow falling on hills. Grey sky meets white ground in soft layers. The print comes from a series inspired by Japanese art. Hockney worked with a master printer in California on this piece. Three brown shapes look like houses, but could be anything. It’s held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The story of this work

Overview

The print depicts a snowy landscape featuring softened hilly peaks beneath a grey sky, with snow-covered branches extending into the scene from the right and three small brown shapes that may represent houses gradually disappearing under the snow, reflecting a distinctly Japanese aesthetic among the works in this series.
