Howard Hodgkin

Sir Gordon Howard Eliot Hodgkin (1932) is a British painter and printmaker.
His first solo show was in London in 1962. In 1984, he represented Britain
at the Venice Biennale, in 1985 he won the Turner Prize, and in 1992 he was
knighted.His early paintings tend to be made up of hard-edged curved forms
in a limited number of colors. Around the beginning of the 1970s, his style became
more spontaneous, with vaguely recognizable shapes presented in bright colors
and bold forms. This volume shows up Howard Hodgkin as a painter of emotional
situations and experienced landscapes.
