This signed lithograph by much loved British artist David Hockney was released in 1974 in an edition of 75. Hockney embraces figurative drawing with a renewed vigor offering intimate snapshots at people who have entered, and changed, his life. Hockney has invited sitters from all areas of his life into his studio. His subjects - all family, friends and acquaintances, each embody a distinctive personality that leaps off the surface with warmth and immediacy, such is Hockney’s skill at rendering his subjects. On the subject of portraiture, Hockney confesses: “it is your mood and their mood together that creates whatever’s there”. An avid portraitist throughout his career, Hockney has painted, drawn and printed hundreds of portraits since the mid-1960s.
