Meaning & Analysis

In La Chaise, Hockney employs the chromogenic print process - a colour photography technique that produces rich, durable images - to create a detailed composition. The wicker chair within Hockney's painting, rendered with precision, becomes an unexpected focal point amidst both real and imagined foliage. Hockney's characteristic play with perspective draws the eye towards the chair, inviting contemplation of its place within the natural environment.

This work reflects Hockney's ongoing fascination with domestic scenes and his ability to elevate everyday subjects. The print's composition and technique align with Hockney's other works from the 1970s, a period when he frequently explored themes of space and perspective. The vivid colours and sharp details achievable through the chromogenic process allowed Hockney to capture the interplay of light and shadow in the garden setting with remarkable clarity. By choosing a simple chair as his subject, Hockney continues his exploration of the intersection between the natural world and human-made objects. This piece demonstrates his technical skill in the chromogenic print medium and his ability to find visual interest in commonplace scenes, encouraging viewers to observe their surroundings with renewed attention to detail and composition.
