Meaning & Analysis
Maurice Payne is a 2008 digital print by David Hockney, portraying his collaborator and master printer. This print is a more contemporary example of Hockney's work featuring friends and colleagues from the art world.
This intimate portrait captures Hockney's long-time friend and collaborator through intricate etching techniques. The artwork presents Payne seated, with a direct gaze, against a minimalist background. Fine, precise lines define Payne's features and clothing, creating subtle textures and demonstrating Hockney's technical proficiency in digital drawing.
Hockney and Payne's collaboration, which began in 1965, significantly influenced Hockney's printmaking. As a master printer, Payne specialised in the technical aspects of print production, contributing his expertise to several of Hockney's projects, including the renowned Illustrations For Fourteen Poems From C.P. Cavafy (1967).
