Meaning & Analysis

Lithographic Water Made Of Lines, Crayon, And Two Blue Washes is a lithograph created by David Hockney between 1978 and 1980. This print, from an edition of 55, depicts a swimming pool using intricate lines and blue washes on TGL handmade paper. Measuring 77.2 x 96.5 cm, it's part of Hockney's series exploring water's visual properties, which he began after moving to California in 1964.

In this lithograph, Hockney employs a meticulous combination of lines and washes to evoke water's fluidity and movement. The swimming pool, a recurring motif in his work, is rendered through a layered technique that demonstrates his innovative approach to printmaking. Hockney's use of crayon and two distinct blue washes creates a dynamic interplay of textures and shades, effectively capturing the essence of water's surface.

This piece showcases Hockney's ability to translate his observations of light and reflection onto paper, a skill he honed through his paintings and drawings of pools. The artwork is notable for its detailed execution and the artist's capacity to convey motion and depth through minimalistic yet expressive means. Historically, this lithograph represents a significant step in Hockney's ongoing exploration of water's visual qualities. It bridges his earlier pool paintings of the 1960s with his later digital works on the same theme in the 2000s.
