Image description

Hodgkin aspired to paint objects 'exactly as they are, yet with some of their mystery and poetry, and as though seen for the first time.' He wrote: 'I use [tempera paint] because it is the only way I can express the character of objects that fascinate me. With oil paint I could not get the detail without getting also a disagreeable surface' (Year Book of the Society of Painters in Tempera, 1967). His compositions are poised and articulate, and shaded around to describe volume, whilst his fine distinct brushstrokes (characteristic of tempera painting) describe tone and texture.
