In “Nichols Canyon”, David Hockney explores colour’s inherent beauty and richness. As a prime proponent of Fauvism, Hockney produces a delightful work that can stimulate one’s senses. He doesn’t dilute any of the hues, thereby vividly displaying a scenery present both physically as well as in the mind of Hockney. Physically, this painting has been adapted from the actual Nichols Canyon that lies in the Hills of Hollywood, California. Starting from the Hollywood Blvd., this Canyon makes its way north only to slope down and under Mulholland Drive. In this canyon, as portrayed by Hockney, shows small brooks and a number of artificial waterfalls flank the all-year-round persistence of a real waterfall. By this time, Hockney was choosing acrylics over oil paint and started real-life documentation via photography to plan for the landscapes he was to draw. Hockney drew from Fauve artists from the 20th century as he used pigments directly coming out of the tube. Fauvists would go beyond the constraints of Impressionists and that’s what Hockney would reflect in his art.
