Hockney Homage

David Hockney 1937-2026

Yorkshire lad became an Angeleno in 1964 but not before painting this self-portrait in 1954.

Celebrity Portraits

Harry Styles. Enough said.

Self Portrait

When this was first posted on Insta, a British friend commented, snarkily I might add, "Is this a self portrait of you when you were 18?" So to fend off future hecklers, the title was changed to "Seated Woman", but ANYbody who knows me KNOWS it's a self portrait.

Declined 

Hockney was offered but declined knighthood in 1990. In 1997, he was appointed Companion of Honour. And in 2012, the Queen appointed the Order of Merit.

Family Portraits

Hockney's portrait of his parents famously caused a rift. His father was miffed he wasn't shown facing his artist son. Hockney's retort "Because during the sittings you mostly read the paper. So that's how I painted you."

Shawshank Redemption

To paraphrase Andy, "You've come this far, maybe you're willing to go a little further."
