Fauvist-expressionist Hockney #277

This one definitely feels in the orbit of David Hockney — the vibrant palette, the swimming pools, the sun-drenched suburban geometry, and the joyful flatness all echo his California period. But stylistically, it leans more toward Fauvism meets Hockney, with: Loose, thick, directional brushstrokes A swirling Van Gogh-like sky More painterly texture than Hockney’s usual crisp, clean edges A slightly more whimsical, rhythmic repetition of shapes Hockney’s works—especially his pool series—tend to have sharper planes, smoother surfaces, and a focus on hyper-clarity rather than expressive brush motion. This piece feels closer to Raoul Dufy, André Derain, or Henri Matisse filtered through a modern Hockney lens. So if the idea is attribution style: It’s inspired by David Hockney, but painted in a bold Fauvist-expressionist manner.
