David Hockney Portrait Prints

British, b. 1937

The art of David Hockney is always engaging in its pleasant ambiguities: his prints, drawings and paintings are warm but somehow aloof; filled with light yet often dark and brooding in subject; simple, frank and mundane, but also ethereal and complex. The artist’s stature in the contemporary art world is such that, in a 2011 survey of one thousand British painters and sculptors, he was named the most influential British artist of all time.

Hockney grew up in Bradford, in the northern English county of Yorkshire, studying at the Bradford School of Art from 1953 to ’57, and at the Royal College of Art in London from 1959 to 1962. Though he was educated in art at a time when abstraction dominated the field, Hockney stuck resolutely to figurative painting and drawing.

Hockney's early paintings suggest a search for a style, veering from Expressionism to a grotesquerie suggestive of James Ensor. But Hockney found himself almost the moment he arrived in Los Angeles, in 1963. The move from the gray and rainy Britain to a world of bright sunshine and sparkling water brought Hockney a sense of freedom and an artistic epiphany. He would spend most of the next five years in L.A., painting luminous pictures, such as A Bigger Splash (1967), of things that made him happy: swimming pools, manicured lawns, palm trees, stucco buildings and luxuries like shower stalls. Hockney also painted people, almost always his friends. His California portraits such as Beverly Hills Housewife (1966) are considered to be his finest work. They are at once grandly scaled, intimate and poetic.

In the 1970s, Hockney moved back to Britain and spent much of his time on photography and printmaking. He returned to painting in the 1980s, and to subjects like still lifes, seascapes and portraits. Hockney has always been fascinated by the use of technology in art — he’s credited with inventing the technique of joining Polaroid photos in a collage to form a panoramic picture — and has been using the Brush app to paint on an iPad. Because he is prolific and works in a wide range of mediums, Hockney’s art is available at many price points. His consistently striking and provocative work should have a place in any comprehensive collection of contemporary art.

Femininity - Lithograph
By Jules Pascin
Located in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CH
(after) Jules Pascin Title: Femininity Signed in the plate Dimensions: 38 x 28 cm from the edition of 250 as issued in Warnod, Andre, "Les Peintres mes amis" (Paris: Les Heures Claires, 1965) Jules Pascin, born Julius Mordechai Pincas, was a Bulgarian Jewish painter sometimes referred to as "the Prince of Montparnasse." He was born on March 31, 1885 in Vidin, Bulgaria to a Spanish-Sephardic Jewish father and a Serbian-Italian mother, the eighth of eleven children. The Pincas family moved to Bucharest, Romania in 1892 and Pascin was raised there until he left for boarding school in Vienna in 1896. While briefly working for his father’s grain merchant firm in Bucharest at fifteen, Pascin spent much of his time completing his earliest drawings in the local bordello, where he was residing under the Madame’s protection. In 1902, at the age of seventeen, Pascin moved to Vienna to study painting. The next year, he studied at the Heymann Art School in Munich. There, he supported himself by selling satirical drawings to Simplicissimus and other German magazines. Pascin would contribute drawings to a Munich daily through 1929. Pascin’s contributions were widely recognized for their wit and insight, and upon his arrival in Paris in 1905 he was welcomed at the Gare Montparnasse by an international group of artists and writers who gathered at the Café du Dôme, which Pascin soon began to frequent regularly. The group included Grossman, Grosz, William Howard, Levy, and Emil Orlik. Pascin was also a close friend of Amadeo Modigliani. Upon his arrival in Paris, Julius Mordechai Pincas changed his name to Jules Pascin and soon became the symbol of the Montparnasse artist community. Always in his bowler hat, he was a witty presence at Le Dôme café, Le Jockey club, and the others haunts of the area’s bohemian society, and was known for hosting legendary all-night parties. In his story, A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway wrote a chapter titled With Pascin At the Dôme, recounting a night in 1923 when he had stopped off at Le Dôme and met Pascin escorted by two models. Hemingway's depiction of the events of that night is considered one of the defining images of Montparnasse at the time. In 1907, Pascin had his first solo exhibition at Paul Cassirer Gallery in Berlin. Three years later, Cassirir commissioned Pascin to illustrate Heinrich Heine's Aus den Memoiren des Herrn von Schnabelewopski. In 1911, Pascin exhibited his work at Berlin Secession and a year later at the Sonderbund-Aussstellung in Cologne. The artist’s first exhibition in the United States was at the Armory Show in New York, where he exhibited twelve of his works. Upon the outbreak of World War I, Pascin left Paris for London in order to avoid conscription in the Bulgarian Army. In October 1914, he immigrated to New York, where he stayed through 1920 and would later return again in 1927. Pascin was immediately welcomed into an artists circle based around the Penguin Club and became acquainted with John Quinn, an important art collector. A short time after his arrival in New York, Pascin was given a one-man show by the Berlin Photographic Company, a Madison Avenue gallery. While in New York, Pascin became associated with several progressive painters, including Walt Kuhn, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Max Weber. Many of these painters were influenced by Pascin’s unique style, in which he combined elements from Expressionism and Cubism with his own personal view of his environment. Pascin used his time in the United States to travel extensively, especially in the southern states and the Caribbean islands, recording his travels in sketches that were widely acclaimed. Pascin married Hermine David in 1918. In 1920, Pascin was awarded American citizenship with support from Alfred Stieglitz and Maurice Sterne. He returned to Paris in October of that same year and met his future mistress, Lucy Krohg, the wife of the Norwegian painter Per Krohg...

Maurice Payne David Hockney seated black and white portrait drawing of young man
By David Hockney
Located in New York, NY
Black and white etching portrait of David Hockney's friend and printer, Maurice Payne. Minimalist line drawing features Payne's vintage 1970s style, with bohemian long hair, bellbottoms, and a tight collared shirt. Paper 35.75 x 28 in. Image 27 x 21 in. Etching on J. Green mould made paper. Edition 75: this impression 73/75 (aside from 16 artist's proofs). Signed by the artist and dated 71 lower right in pencil; numbered 73/75 lower left in pencil. This black and white etching on fine paper features a three-quarter length profile portrait of the master printer Maurice Payne, seated, looking to the viewer’s right. Payne slumps slightly with crossed arms in his chair. His long, shaggy hair, flared pants, and close-fitting collared shirt typify 1970s style. The printer’s unbuttoned polo and tousled hairstyle convey a youthful, nonchalant attitude, but Payne’s distant stare and tightened throat bely a pensive melancholy. Maurice was an etching printer at Petersburg Press in London. An occasional Hockney subject, Payne described sitting for the famed artist: “His board and easel is probably only 30 inches away from your face and his face. There's no doubt you are thinking what is he thinking, and what are you thinking[sic]. And then if I'm just sitting there concentrating on him concentrating, you're nearly feeling as though you're meditating.” This portrait balances the spontaneity of a sketch with the gravity of a portrait. Payne’s hair is a flourish of lines, while Hockney has artfully detailed the folds of clothing to outline the printer’s lanky physique. Hockney pairs long, elegant lines with hatching and stippling to define faint areas of shadow: Payne’s stubble, arm hair...

    There are several interesting facts about David Hockney. For one, the British artist refused to write an essay for his final exam at the Royal College of Art and instead submitted a sketch of his diploma, prompting the school to change the rules in order to allow him to graduate. He also has synesthesia, which allows him to see colors when he listens to music. In 1990, he turned down the opportunity to be knighted by the Queen of England. Another fact is that Hockney has always been fascinated by the use of technology in art. He is credited with inventing the technique of joining Polaroid photos in a collage to form a panoramic picture, and he has recently been using the Brush app to paint on an iPad.

    What David Hockney's most famous piece is can be debated.

Other popular works by Hockney include The Splash (1967), Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy (1971), Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) (1972), My Parents (1977) and Self Portrait with Red Braces (2003).

    How much David Hockney's art is worth depends on its medium, size, history, condition and other factors. In 2018, his Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures), produced in 1972, sold for over $90 million at an auction in New York. The art of David Hockney is engaging in its ambiguities; his prints, drawings and paintings are warm but aloof, filled with light yet often dark and brooding in subject. His stature in the contemporary art world is such that he was named the most influential British artist of all time in a 2011 survey of one thousand British painters and sculptors. If you own a Hockney piece, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can be of assistance during the valuation process. On 1stDibs, find a collection of David Hockney art.
