Meaning & Analysis
Hollywood Window is a 1973 chromogenic print by David Hockney. This photographic work, measuring 177 x 237 mm, captures an interior scene with lush foliage viewed through a large window in Los Angeles. Part of Hockney's photographic exploration in the 1970s, it reflects his keen interest in documenting everyday moments in his adopted city.
In Hollywood Window, Hockney presents a meticulously composed scene where interior and exterior spaces converge. The photograph's focal point is a large window framing verdant plants, with distant buildings visible beyond. Hockney employs warm, reddish tones to create an intimate atmosphere, a hallmark of his photographic work from this period.
Hockney's approach in Hollywood Window demonstrates his ability to translate his painterly eye to photography. A chromogenic print, also known as a C-print, is a photographic process that produces high-quality colour prints from negatives. This technique allowed Hockney to achieve rich, vibrant colours that echo his painting style.
