Description : Made in 1970, Pretty Tulips is an emblematic lithograph of David Hockney, a major figure in British contemporary art. In this poetic and refined work, the artist depicts a bouquet of red tulips in a bright blue vase, delicately placed on a reflective surface that subtly doubles the composition. The contrast between the clean lines of the vase, the gestural treatment of the flowers, and the stylized reflection creates a visual balance that is both simple and sophisticated.

Hockney here mixes inspiration from classical still lifes to its unique graphic language, marked by great freedom of lines and a luminous palette. Pretty Tulips is a perfect example of his exploration of domestic formsand his love for floral arrangements treated with modernity.
