This silk-screen print displays Hodgkin’s signature bold, harmonious colours and expressive style. The object at the centre of the composition, a pot-plant that features in many of the artist’s paintings and prints, is reminiscent of a palm; the saturated redish-orange patterns behind it looking like a the scorching mid-day sun, possibly a memory of he East coast of America, where Hodgkin spent much of his adolescence. One of the prints from this edition is in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.
