Meaning & Analysis

Hockney met Graves in 1960 when he was still a student at the Royal College of Art, and she featured in many of his prints from 1962 onwards. Later, the artist would become close friends with David Graves, Ann’s husband, whom he met at the opening night of The Rake's Progress at the Glyndebourne Opera in 1975. In 2005, Hockney painted a double portrait of Ann and David Graves as part of his famous series of double portraits painted quickly in oil. Seen against Hockney’s body of work as a whole, A Lot More Of Ann Combing Her Hair (1979) records the individual model’s passage through time while celebrating the mundane yet life-affirming moments of the creative friendship.
