Meaning & Analysis

In Mo McDermott, David Hockney employs a precise line technique to portray his assistant. The lithograph features McDermott seated in a relaxed pose, hands clasped, with his gaze directed off-canvas. Hockney's sparse background focuses attention on McDermott's contemplative expression, while the lithographic process allows for a nuanced range of tones, lending depth to the figure whilst maintaining a sense of lightness.

This work is part of Hockney's series of intimate portraits from the 1970s, a period marked by his exploration of naturalism and his growing interest in photography. The piece, published by Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, reflects Hockney's ongoing collaboration with the renowned print workshop and his increasing ties to California. McDermott, who worked with Hockney from 1962 until his death in 1988, was a significant figure in the artist's life and work. This portrait not only demonstrates Hockney's technical proficiency but also provides insight into his personal relationships and working methods.
