HOWARD HODGKIN

I did a bit of summer chasing last week and escaped to the Outer Banks in North Carolina for my cousin's wedding. The water was warm, the beaches deserted, and this caftan was the perfect thing to wear in the Indian Summer heat. I can't help but think of the gestural paintings of Howard Hodgkin (b. 1932) while looking at the print. What do you think?
