Meaning & Analysis

In this lithograph, Hockney employs the printmaking technique to create layered textures and fluid forms. The process involves drawing on a flat stone or metal plate with an oil-based medium, allowing for the creation of complex, overlapping shapes. The composition features a series of curved and angular forms that interact and overlap, creating a sense of depth and movement within the two-dimensional space. The interplay of abstract shapes in The New And The Old And The New echoes elements of Hockney's earlier experiments with cubism and abstraction, while pushing into new territory. The title suggests a cyclical nature, perhaps reflecting on the artist's own process of revisiting and reinventing artistic approaches.

Hockney's collaboration with Tyler Graphics for this piece allowed him to explore the possibilities of lithography in creating abstract compositions. This work marks a departure from his more figurative pieces, such as his well-known pool paintings of the 1960s and 1970s. However, it maintains Hockney's interest in spatial relationships and the representation of three-dimensional space on a flat surface, themes he has explored throughout his career.

The abstract nature of this work invites multiple interpretations. The overlapping forms and colours could be seen as representing the layers of time suggested by the title, or as an exploration of the visual experience itself. Through this lithograph, Hockney continues his ongoing investigation into the nature of perception and representation in art.
