Meaning & Analysis

Here, Hockney favours the minimalism of means and composition, maintaining the image in one dominant style and colour. The scene is composed entirely from curved turquoise lines that flow freely across the image, designed to convey feelings of quietness and serenity. A difference in the size and arrangement of lines between the right and left side differentiates sea waters from the beach area. The pattern created on the left side, in particular, shares a strong visual affinity with Henry Matisse’s environmental mural The Parakeet And The Mermaid (1952) given the flat, poster-like quality of the playfully arranged marks. The artist commented in the context of his favourite theme: “It is a formal problem to represent water, to describe water, because it can be anything. It can be any colour, it’s movable, and it has no set visual description.”
