David Hockney by David Hockney — Fine Art

David Hockney by David Hockney puts a face in front of you with bright flat colour and clear outlines. The eye sits slightly to one side and the skin reads as a few solid blocks instead of many small ones. You can see the paint laid down in separate patches.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The paper carries a matte surface, so the flat colour planes stay soft and there is no shine under a lamp. A light frame on a dark wall keeps the outline of the face clear, while a wood frame sits well beside a wooden shelf.

It works on the landing wall between two doors, where the big colour blocks read from the top of the stairs. From the desk you notice the clear edge of the hair against the flat background.
