Meaning & Analysis
Raymond Foye Looking At Brooklyn is a photographic collage by David Hockney, created in December 1982. This work depicts Raymond Foye observing the Brooklyn skyline, composed of multiple chromogenic prints. Part of Hockney's exploration of photo collages in the early 1980s, it exemplifies his approach to capturing time and perspective. The piece, measuring 94 x 148.6 cm, is one of a limited edition of ten, each signed and numbered by the artist.
In this photo collage, Hockney employs a collage of chromogenic prints to construct a fragmented yet cohesive image. The composition presents multiple perspectives, allowing viewers to experience the scene from various angles simultaneously. This technique, which Hockney termed 'joiners', marks a significant development in his artistic practice, bridging his work in painting and photography. The layered structure of the collage captures not only a moment in time but also reflects the dynamic nature of urban landscapes. By using several photographs to create a single image, Hockney challenges conventional notions of photographic representation. The work's composition draws attention to the interplay between Foye and the Brooklyn skyline, creating a dialogue between the observer and the observed.
Hockney's meticulous arrangement of the individual prints demonstrates his keen eye for spatial relationships and his ability to manipulate perspective. This approach to photography expanded the boundaries of the medium, encouraging viewers to reconsider their understanding of visual perception and representation in art. The piece aligns with Hockney's broader exploration of cubist-inspired fragmentation, reflecting his ongoing interest in depicting three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.
