Elevate Your Correspondence with the Chromatic Intensity of John Hoyland
Experience the profound spatial dynamics of John Hoyland, one of Britain's greatest abstract masters. This exclusive pack of 10 flat postcards features the seminal work 12.12.68 - 1969, a testament to Hoyland’s revolutionary approach to color and form during the late 1960s. At RedKalion, we curate museum-quality reproductions that honor the artist's original intent, allowing you to share a piece of art history with every note you send.
A Masterpiece of British Abstraction
In the late 1960s, John Hoyland moved away from the hard-edged geometric constraints of his earlier work toward a more fluid, expressive style. 12.12.68 exemplifies this transition, utilizing bold rectangular forms that seem to float within a deep, resonant field of color. This period of Hoyland's career was heavily influenced by his encounters with American Color Field painters, yet he maintained a uniquely British sensibility characterized by dramatic tension and physical presence. Each postcard serves as a miniature window into this pivotal era of post-painterly abstraction.
Unrivaled Print Quality and Sustainability
Our commitment to excellence ensures that every postcard in this set is a work of art in its own right. Utilizing advanced 12-color fine art printing technology, we capture the subtle nuances and vivid depth of Hoyland’s palette that standard inkjet processes simply cannot replicate. Printed on 200 gsm (80 lb) FSC-certified paper with a thickness of 0.26 mm, these cards offer a substantial, premium feel and a smooth matte finish that eliminates glare.
