Although seemingly abstract, Hodgkin's paintings are rooted in everyday reality. He has stated: "I start out with the subject and naturally I have to remember first of all what it looked like, but it would also perhaps contain a great deal of feeling and sentiment. All of that has got to be somehow transmuted, transformed or made, into a physical object." Rain is one of his largest paintings, and suggests a landscape viewed through a window, with lowering storm clouds and squalls shafting down. This piece has an attribution mark, I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
