Meaning & Analysis
Dog Etching No. 13 (1998) is a signed print by David Hockney representing a particular example of the personal subject matter that defines his paintings and portraits. Known for his preference to portray family members, lovers or close friends instead of strangers, Hockney created art that, in many ways, unveils deeply intimate dimensions of his personal experience and lifelong relationships. Dog Etching No. 13 depicts a folded piece of paper with the image of a sausage dog depicted on the front side. The motive of an artwork within an artwork has been used recurrently by Hockney to comment on his own creative identity. Accompanied by a human hand emerging uncannily from the bottom of the print, the image of the folded piece of paper serves as a metaphor of the artist’s act of scrutinising the medium’s capacity to preserve his personal world.
