early works still best

It was great to see 'Ordinary Picture' and 'Rocky Mountains With Tired Indians' again, and I still think that period was DH's best work--most innovative. The whole show is v uplifting thanks to the colours, although latest works very crude and not enough in subject matter---I wished he'd explored further the vein he had in the 60s. But the show is definitely worth seeing for at least 7 or 8 works...

Didn't like the prints

Excellent exhibition. I loved the huge oils. You walk around and feel like you are in a forest. The ones he made on Ipad do look better on Ipad, but not the way the printed them so big on paper.
