Meaning & Analysis

Although experimental from the outset of his career, Hockney has been consistent in considering his close acquaintances as the only appropriate subject for portraits. During the course of his fifty-year career, the artist produced only two commissioned portraits: Portrait Of Sir David Webster (1971) occasioned by the art administrator’s retirement as the General Administrator of the Royal Opera House in London and, over thirty years later, the watercolour portrait of Glydenbourne Festival Opera manager George Christie and his wife Patricia Mary Nicholson. The preference for portraying friends and relatives rather than strangers stems from Hockney’s desire to capture that which can only be accessed in the case of a close relationship with the sitter: the subtle currents of human emotions and intimacy.

  • 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. A pioneer of the British Pop Art movement in the 1960s, he seamlessly transitioned through various styles, from photo collages to vivid landscapes. 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.
