Meaning & Analysis
Eiffel Tower By Day (2010) is an iPad drawing by David Hockney, printed on paper in an edition of 25. This digital artwork captures Paris's iconic landmark against a vibrant skyline, viewed from a rooftop balcony nearby, with countless layers of digital brushstrokes to evoke the textures of the Eiffel Tower and surrounding landmarks, as well as the hazy golden hour effect evoked in the sky about the focal point.
Hockney's Eiffel Tower By Day features a bold colour palette and fluid lines, characteristic of Hockney's style, are achieved through the iPad's touch interface, demonstrating his adaptability to new artistic tools. The composition juxtaposes the historical Eiffel Tower with the modern medium, creating a dialogue between past and present. Hockney's use of digital colour brings the Parisian sky to life, infusing the scene with energy that transcends the static nature of the subject.
By printing this digital creation, Hockney bridges the gap between new and traditional media, challenging perceptions of digital tools in fine art, reflecting the ongoing evolution of contemporary printmaking techniques.
