Alan Cristea Gallery, Howard Hodgkin After All, London 2016, no. 4, p. 15, illustration in colour of another impression

“His prints, which he has been making for more than six decades, aim for a different directness: getting right up close to the experience of things, whetting the appetite, lulling you with beauty, bringing back the smell of rain or old leaves. Each image is a moment of visual intoxication.”
