David Hockney known for his run among strange and crazy artistic circles. Hes an artist that has always enjoyed success and praise, facing little to no hardship in his career unlike other artists.
David Hockney was born on July 9, 1937, in Bradford, England, to Laura and Kenneth Hockney.
Hockney likes to work with photography, or, more precisely, photocollage, where he get several pictures of one object from different angles and creates a collage of images of that single image.
Its hard to explain so here are some examples,
Here are some of Hockney's photo collages we can clearly see how all of these collages are extremly abstract and unique in way that makes them seem odd but nice pieces of work, each single photo is bold and expressive whether its a single ear or just the bow strap on her shirt, Hockney gets every last feature into the picture while giving it all equal importance, no one picture is on top or over shadowing the rest this balance between diversity and similarity is what makes Hockney's colleges so instresting.
Another piece by Hockney this particular picture by Hockney has a heavy semotic approach, The picture is simply two squares conjointed by a few stiches and a hand this sign is
a relation to love, being together, attachment also the colours suggest passion or angry.
It also signifies equality as they aren't both the same coloured square but yet different shades of red one being bright the other being very close to purple, also this is backed up with the text "we 2 boys together clinging", this simplistic picture is trying to convey the meaning of brotherly love wether that be with in the same race or not.
The sign of the hand is we can still hold on as the purple square could be also seen as depression as its a dark colour which relates to sadness and the red square which is bright red and has a hand to hold the purple one. It's a simple representation of what soicety doesnt promote or maybe allow is some sense.
