Meaning & Analysis

This portrait, framed by a roughly sketched square, was released in 1980 in an edition of 30. Forty-three at the time of creating this self portrait, Hockney is sat side on. The rough, brisk strokes, loose in their application, still capture a wonderful likeness of the artist, who appears lost in thought or focusing on another matter entirely, almost completely unaware of the viewer watching him. At this time, living between Los Angeles and London, Hockney was already a well-known, loved figure in the art world, pioneering British art.

Having created over 300 self-portraits throughout his artistic career, this portrait is just one of many.This subtle sadness present in this rendering lends it a sombre air, more sincere than other iterations of his own likeness.

  • 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.
