About the artwork
David Hockney, in Untitled, reduces his strokes to the essential while retaining the warmth of his observation. Even without an identified location, the image is immediately recognizable.
Expert opinion
The hyper-realist appeal centered on the torso is transformed into abstraction through proximity. Flesh becomes a study in curves, fabric and light.
About the artist
Born in Bradford, UK, in 1937, David Hockney is a British painter, draughtsman, printmaker, photographer and stage designer. A major figure of Pop Art in the 1960s, he is renowned for his expressive use of color, his interest in photography and his depiction of everyday life. Between London, Paris and Los Angeles, he developed a prolific body of work that blends classicism, modernity, humor and technical innovation. Fascinated by questions of vision and perspective, Hockney has constantly renewed his mediums: painting, drawing, photocollage, digital printing and the iPad. His work is a sensitive and inventive reflection on images and reality.
