Meaning & Analysis

The image of the ambiguous human figure consists of a simple facial outline and two oval elements placed on top of oversized limbs. The man’s head is turned towards the left, exposing only one profile. Executed with a simple black line, the huge legs resemble chunky boots and, given their size and shape, clash with other surrounding elements. The juxtaposition of abstract elements seems to compose an ambiguous yet complete image of the human figure. At the same time, the lack of explicit connection between different parts makes them come across separate and independent, challenging the initial impression of wholeness. The print sheds light on the experimental spirit and intellectual restlessness of the beloved British artist who famously said, “at Bradford School of Art the Gods were Degas and Sickert, I wanted Picasso.”

  • British-born artist David Hockney is a kaleidoscopic force in the art world. Born in 1937, Hockney's vibrant palette and innovative techniques have left an indelible mark on contemporary art.

Renowned for his exploration of light and space, Hockney's versatility extends to painting, printmaking, photography, and stage design. A captivating storyteller, his works often capture the essence of modern life with a playful yet profound touch. With a career spanning decades, Hockney remains an enduring visionary in the ever-evolving art world.
