Painter Howard Hodgkin dies aged 84

Tate director Nicholas Serota leads tributes to ‘one of the great artists and colourists of his generation‘

He was known for paintings, always on wood rather than canvas, full of vividly coloured, emotion-packed splodges, swirls, loops and smears. It may not have been obvious to the viewer but the works always had a subject and they were not abstract – he said that he had never painted an abstract picture in his life, that he was a «a figurative painter of emotional situations».

Die schönsten Momente des Lebens

Mit Howard Hodgkin ist einer der grössten Künstler seiner Generation gestorben. Der britische Maler, dessen nur vordergründig abstrakt anmutende Malerei ganz der Welt der Emotionen verhaftet ist, wurde 84 Jahre alt.

In den besten seiner Bilder wurden Abstraktion und Repräsentation, Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, Leinwand und Rahmen eins. Howard Hodgkin war einer der bekanntesten und wichtigsten Maler Großbritanniens.
