Meaning & Analysis

The style of this work, when compared to Hockney’s other Portraits, belies Hockney’s endless versatility. Here, Hockney’s subject has her back turned but is she looking back over her shoulder to regard the artist. Outstretched in her arms is a picture of herself. Whilst the subject’s facial features have been executed with greater detail, her clothes and the photograph she holds are executed more crudely with thicker, expressive strokes. As none of Hockney’s portraits are commissioned, they offer an intimate look at those with whom the artist shares his personal life: friends, family and acquaintances. Much like the title of Hockney’s 2020 solo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London, throughout his career Hockney is ‘drawing from life’. Favouring communication through drawing, Hockney confesses these sitting allow for intimacy and closeness, which “cannot be achieved so readily with the bravura of the painted portrait”.

  • 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.
