Chatter by Orovida Pissarro (1893-1968) Etching 26 x 19 cm (10 ¹/₄ x 7 ¹/₂ inches) Signed and dated lower right Orovida 1927 Inscribed lower left Trial proof no. 18/25 and titled lower middle Artist biography: Orovida Camille Pissarro, Lucien and Esther Pissarro’s only child, was the first woman in the Pissarro family as well as the first of her generation to become an artist. Born in Epping, England in 1893, she lived and worked predominantly in London where she became a prominent member of several British arts clubs and societies. She first learned to paint in the Impressionist style of her father, but after a brief period of formal study with Walter Sickert in 1913 she renounced formal art schooling. Throughout her career, Orovida always remained outside of any mainstream British art movements. Much to Lucien's disappointment she soon turned away from naturalistic painting and developed her own unusual style combining elements of Japanese, Chinese, Persian and Indian art. Her rejection of Impressionism, which for the Pissarro family had become a way of life, together with the simultaneous decision to drop her famous last name and simply use Orovida as a ‘nom de peintre’, reflected a deep desire for independence and distance from the weight of the family legacy. Orovida's most distinctive and notable works were produced from the period of 1919 to 1939 using her own homemade egg tempera applied in thin, delicate washes to silk, linen or paper and sometimes embellished with brocade borders. These elegant and richly decorative works generally depict Eastern, Asian and African subjects, such as Mongolian horse...

Ann Upton (1941-2017) met David Hockney in 1960 and became his model in 1962. Ann's eventual husband David Graves met Hockney at the opening night of 'The Rake's Progress' at the Glyndebourne Opera, 1975, which Hockney designed. A practicing sculptor, David was working at the time as a paper restorer at Petersburg Press, with a studio opposite Hockney's in London. By the late 1970s he was working as Hockney's assistant, helping with stage sets and later with the preparation and editioning of Hockney's composite photographs. He began to appear in Hockney's drawings from 1982 or 1983. David and Ann met through Hockney as mutual friends and later while on holiday in Hawaii in May of 1983, decided to get married, Hockney being their wedding photographer. The couple and Hockney would continue to be lifelong friends and colleagues until Ann and David's death in 2017 and 2019. Known for his photo collages and paintings of Los Angeles swimming pools, David Hockney is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. Born in Bradford, England, in 1937, David Hockney attended art school in London before moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s. There, he painted his famous swimming pool paintings...
