Hockney's Pictures

Product Information

Opening exactly a year after the works were made during the global pandemic, this exhibition will be a reminder of the constant renewal and wonder of the natural world – and the beauty of spring. Dry humor pervades all elements of the composition. The viewer half expects to see the vertical elements - the stiff couple and their belongings - blast off like space ships into the blue sky. The threat of the surreal lurking in this picture underscores the consistent relationship between Pop art and older movements. Also noteworthy is the manner in which the poses transgress traditional gender norms. Marcia, a full-figured matron in a robe held closed with one arm, bares her teeth, and strikes a sensual pose that is both gracious and confrontational. Fred, the man of the house, stands stiffly with his fists clenched, and is literally marginalized as he is pushed to the left-hand side.

He said in his autobiography, "I love the idea first of all of painting like Leonardo, all his studies of water, swirling things. And I loved the idea of painting this thing that lasts for two seconds: it takes me two weeks to paint this event that lasts for two seconds." Nicholas Wilder, 51, Artist and Art Dealer".

He was spending more time in Yorkshire and produced several works based on the drive from his mother’s seaside home to York, where he would visit his dying friend Jonathan Silver. He used multiple viewpoints to create a sense of his movement through the landscape, in particular up and down Garrowby Hill which rises from the Plain of York to the higher Wolds.

June 2022, Looking at the Flowers (Framed) will hang alongside the actual flower pictures depicted within it in a forthcoming major exhibition, 20 Flowers and Some Bigger Pictures. Sonnenstrahl, Deborah M. (2002). Deaf Artists in America, Colonial to Contemporary. San Diego: Dawnsign. pp.241–248.

The flower paintings are being sold in editions of 50, but that doesn’t mean that each gallery has ten prints. “I wish we did,” says Goulds, who declined to give prices. “At least five of everything David makes goes into his archive with the foundation, which is really an exhibition vehicle for his legacy.”

The title highlights that all art depends upon artificial devices, illusionary tools and conventions that the viewer and the artist conspire to accept as descriptive of something real.
