Catalogue Note
'[The Indian Views series is] based on the little windows in old-fashioned Indian railway carriages, through which you get the almost keyhole views - concentrated fragments.' (Penelope Marcus, Howard Hodgkin Prints exhibition, Modern Art Oxford, 1976)
Initially conceived as a series that should be hung along a wall in a single line, Indian Views was inspired by the sights that the artist encountered whilst travelling in an old-fashioned Indian railway carriage.
The series also marks the point at which the frame becomes an important formal device for most of the artist's future prints.
