Gramophone.

I love this artwork- it has been in storage for a while and is now in the Origins gallery at Museum and Art Swindon.

A bit more about it:

Gramophone, 1964-66
By Howard Hodgkin (1932-2017)
Oil paint on canvas
The 1960s was an eventful decade for the art collection. The first purpose-built gallery to house it was opened in 1964, over two decades after the collection had started.

The Keeper of the Tate, Richard Morphet, became an advisor, enabling acquisitions to reflect the latest creative trends.

The collection also saw the first purchases through what is now the Arts Council England/V&A Purchase Grant Fund.

Hodgkin's Gramophone was purchased with a grant from the Fund in 1968.

It exemplifies a great trend for abstraction in British art, in the 1960s.

Hodgkin's paintings aimed to convey a feeling for a moment in time. Over two years, he transformed a painting of his two friends listening to music into an abstract composition representing his memory of sound and colour.
