David Hockney California Bank 1964 Modern Architecture Art Print

In 1964, a young artist arrived in Los Angeles and found unexpected beauty in the mundane structures of the West Coast landscape. This print reproduces his stylized vision of urban architecture, where a towering grid of teal and grey windows rises behind a row of slender palm trees and dark, rounded shrubs.

About David Hockney

David Hockney, born in Yorkshire in 1937, is one of the most influential British artists of the past century. Hockney’s Los Angeles swimming pools of the 1960s made sunlit blue water a modern art icon. Pop Art’s bright colour and graphic punch make it ideal for playful, modern spaces. The original image dates from 1964.

Styling this David Hockney print

Teal tones give this David Hockney print a vibrant character that holds a room. In a dorm room or living room, “California Bank” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. Finish “California Bank” with a slim walnut or black frame: its teal palette pairs well with crisp white, warm wood and copper accents.
