Note: An obvious homage to van Gogh, Sunflower I is a striking intaglio still life. Here the sunflowers of the title stand tall in their pot or vase, against a background filled with marks from the etching plate. The leaves are a mass of black ink, dominating the composition, and bring a certain weight to the more ephemeral blooms. The work could just as easily be a copy of the Dutch master’s work or a study from life, however the pot is a different shape to van Gogh’s. It is likely that Hockney was inspired by the famous series of paintings and created his own similar composition.
