Meaning & Analysis

This signed print by venerated British artist David Hockney is entitled Peter Washing, Belgrade, September. It was released in an edition of 80 in 1976. A photographic print, it captures the nude body of Hockney’s onetime lover and artist, Peter Schlesinger, a recurring subject of Hockney’s work immortalised in the world-famous painting, Portrait Of An Artist (Pool With Two Figures). Hockney’s reflection, and camera, also appear in the image; reflected back to us by way of a mirror, the piece’s disruption of any singular, unifocal ‘way of seeing’ or ‘looking’ can be seen as an extension of Hockney’s artistic philosophy. As in the much celebrated – and much imitated – Photo Collages series, in which Hockney creates composite, multi-perspectival works from a multitude of individual photographs, here Hockney circumvents the limitations of an inherently limited medium – the camera – which he often derided as ‘lazy’, being sure to include more than one perspective within an otherwise singular image. The mirror creates a rhetorically charged mise-en-abyme effect which questions the role of the artist, and the viewer, in creating any given representation of an object or person. A framing device of sorts, this piece recalls the trompe l’œil frames of A Hollywood Collection, and the theatre drop curtain in Hockney And The Stage.

  • British-born artist David Hockney is a kaleidoscopic force in the art world. Born in 1937, Hockney's vibrant palette and innovative techniques have left an indelible mark on contemporary art. A pioneer of the British Pop Art movement in the 1960s, he seamlessly transitioned through various styles, from photo collages to vivid landscapes. Renowned for his exploration of light and space, Hockney's versatility extends to painting, printmaking, photography, and stage design. A captivating storyteller, his works often capture the essence of modern life with a playful yet profound touch. With a career spanning decades, Hockney remains an enduring visionary in the ever-evolving art world.
