About the artwork

Howard Hodgkin’s painting is a representation of himself and art dealer and collector John Kasmin sitting under the palm trees of the Calcutta Grand Hotel’s brilliant white courtyard in October 1968. Painted after his return from India in the same year, Hodgkin described the courtyard scene as ‘full of green shutters on the surrounding windows, and palm trees. The floor of the courtyard was occupied by a terrazzo pool in characteristic Indian Hotel sub Art Deco style’. Hodgkin originally included the figures of Kasmin and himself by the pool, before obscuring them with brown paint to contain the intensity of the scene.
