Meaning & Analysis

Hockney's Lithograph Of Water Made Of Lines With Two Light Blue Washes demonstrates his methodical approach to lithography and ongoing fascination with the representation of water. The artwork features a network of lines simulating water's rippling effect, with two light blue washes adding depth. Produced between 1978 and 1980, this piece is part of a series exploring water's visual properties through printmaking.

This work relates to Hockney's broader exploration of pools and water, a theme he began investigating in the 1960s with paintings like A Bigger Splash (1967). The lithograph series, including this piece, allowed Hockney to refine his depiction of water using a different medium, highlighting his versatility as an artist. The limited colour palette and emphasis on line work in this lithograph demonstrate Hockney's ability to convey intricate visual effects with minimal elements, a characteristic feature of his printmaking work during this period.
