Meaning & Analysis

Cribb, a lifelong friend of Hockney, saw potential in Santa Ana, a small California town, and moved there from New York, driven by the idea of integrating arts, culture, and culinary activities in a single creative space. After producing this lithograph print, Hockney did not portray Cribb again until he embarked on 82 Portraits And One Still-life in 2015. Considered in the light of the more recent acrylic portrait, in which Cribb appears in his seventies, reclining on a chair with white hair discernible from the distance, the 1971 print exemplifies Hockney’s unique ability to record his friends’ passage through time.
