I took Kitty to PetSmart this morning to get her nails trimmed. Afterward I came home and Darek dropped me off at Bob & Max's on his way to work. Bob, Max & I had lunch at The Chicken Ranch before heading to the Palm Springs Art Museum to see the David Hockney exhibit. I was a fun day.
David Hockney exhibition. There have been mixed reviews of this show but I enjoyed it, not all of it, but there were parts which I thought were outstanding and the 18 HD video wall with a pattern of the lanes of East Riding at various seasons were mesmerising.

Lucian Freud: New Perspectives
(October 2022 – January 2023)
The exhibition presents the paintings of one of Britain's finest figurative painters, Lucian Freud (1922–2011). It spans a lifetime of work, charting how Freud’s painting changed during 70 years of practice – from his early and intimate works to his well-known, large-scale canvasses and his monumental naked portraits.
Through more than 60 paintings, you will see the development of an artist: paintings of powerful public figures are followed by private studies of friends and family; the familiar, domestic setting gives way to the artist’s paint-splattered studio – a place that becomes both stage and a subject in its own right – and the approximated features of his earliest paintings are complemented by the expertly rendered flesh of his final works.
Freud's celebrity often overshadowed the work he produced and the historical context in which they were made. Bringing to light new perspectives on a lifetime’s work, this exhibition looks beyond Freud's fame and infamy to focus on the artist's uncompromising commitment to painting in the 20th century.

Testing the David Hockney style of joining multiple photos together to create one larger photograph. I am pretty pleased with how this came out, I will probably try this again some other time.
Please full view to see all the details of the joins.

Short capes, popularised in Spain, offered 16th-century European men an opportunity to drape themselves in expensive fabrics and show off a nonchalance especially prized in Italy...Swaggering capes for men have made many fleeting resurgences, with Dolce & Gabbana recently utilising the blank canvas they provide for embellishment.

Fashioning Masculinities: The Art of Menswear
(March 2022 to November 2022)
At a moment of unprecedented creativity in men's fashion and reflection on gender, this exhibition explored how designers, tailors and artists – and their clients and sitters – have constructed and performed masculinity, and unpicked it at the seams.
...The exhibition showcases the variety of possible masculinities across the centuries from the Renaissance to the global contemporary: from looks by Gucci, Harris Reed, Grace Wales Bonner and Raf Simons, to paintings by Sofonisba Anguissola and Joshua Reynolds, contemporary artworks by David Hockney and Omar Victor Diop, to an extract from an all-male dance performance by Matthew Bourne's New Adventures.
The exhibition presents around 100 looks alongside 100 artworks, displayed thematically across three galleries, Undressed, Overdressed, and Redressed.
The second gallery, Overdressed, explores the elite masculine wardrobe, epitomised by oversized silhouettes, lavish materials like silks and velvet in daring colours, and symbolic patterns to express status, wealth and individuality. On display will be armoured breastplates, silky smoking suits, makeup and shaving equipment, sweeping capes, ribbons and lace, including Grinling Gibbons' wooden carving imitating a Venetian needlepoint lace cravat. Through the lens of contemporary fashion designers including Rahemur Rahman and Kim Jones, Overdressed will show how historic ideas begin to shift, with a full rainbow of masculine outfits on display.

Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1723 - 1792;
David Hockney, born 1937 and still going strong.
I'm a big fan of David Hockney. His ability to look and to see is acute, he is mind is focussed, he observes, he asks questions, he seeks answers, and he shares his findings with us in brilliant painting and amazing movies. Go . . . see the current exhibition if you possibly can.
Production from Los Angeles Opera, part of the set is stored outdoors in San Francisco while two other productions take place on the main stage.

Silk velvet, linen
The taste for botanicals often saw fauna joining flora, as in this leopard spotted coat...Such flourishes, however dainty, were key to the performance of 18th-century masculinity.

Thought I'd try a different approach and try a David Hockney inspired Joiner.
