Meaning & Analysis

Yves-Marie Asleep captures a serene moment with Yves-Marie Hervé resting by a pool, his body relaxed and hands clasped. The composition is dominated by the tranquil blue water, which reflects light in a way that adds a dreamlike quality to the scene. Hockney's use of chromogenic print on Kodak paper enhances the vividness and subtlety of the colours, a technique he frequently employed during this period. This work is part of Hockney's Twenty Photographic Pictures series, which delves into personal and intimate snapshots of his life and relationships. The series marks a departure from his earlier, more public works, focusing instead on private, contemplative moments. The choice of a sleeping subject invites viewers into a quiet, introspective space, contrasting with the dynamic energy often seen in Hockney's paintings. This piece not only highlights Hockney's technical prowess in photography but also his ability to convey deep emotional resonance through seemingly simple scenes.
