This exhibition is drawn from The National Gallery of Australia's extensive collection, presenting over 80 works from 1961 to the present day, including prints developed using lithography and etching, photocopiers and fax machines, and more recently, iPhones and iPads...….
This morning I made homage to the David Hockney prints selected from the National Gallery of Australia's extraordinary print collection, specifically from the Hockney prints. I revisited Cafavy, the brothers Grimm, Los Angeles, Yorkshire, Hockney's world. His work remains the best, the most enduring, in my world.
If you are near the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, south of Melbourne, before 1st December, indulge yourself.

This is pieced together from approx 40 photo's from the same spot on a balcony...I did take over 70 but I don't think my old PC would handle all the lot together.
I've tried to go one further with my Hockney inspired take on the interior of the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester...may have bitten off more than I can chew though.
I'll continue playing, tinkering and learning.
Any guidance, advice, hints or tips welcome.

Been away in Greece on summer holidays - this just a placeholder until I process more shots - my homage to the artist David Hockney, whose swimming pool paintings perfectly captured the light playing off the water and aqua blue tiles.
David Hockney (b. 1937) - Untitled no. 2 (The Arrival of Spring). (2011). Oil on 8 canvasses. In a private collection. Shown at the temporary exhibition "David Hockney 25" at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, April-August 2025.

Some background information:
If you drive through the countryside of the rural district of Hohenlohe with its pastures and little villages in the northeast of the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, you wouldn’t expect an art museum of international reputation being located in this area. However the museums Würth 1 and Würth 2 are and that has a particular reason: Both museums are attached to the headquarters of Würth Group, a multinational company and the biggest producer of screws in the world.
In 1954, the German billionaire Richard Würth took over a two-man business from his father at the age of 19 and made it a successful worldwide concern with almost 86,000 employees today. In the 70s, Würth began to collect art. Since then, he has collected roughly 18,500 works of art. His passion for collecting art even resulted in art becoming an important element of the Würth company culture. The most important works of art are made publicly available in altogether five museums of the Würth Group. All of them are freely accessible.
The newest of the five Würth museums is the museum Würth 2. It was attached to a forum, named after Reinhold Würth’s wife Carmen. The forum was opened in 2017, on occasion of the 80th birthday of Carmen Würth, while the extension building with the museum was opened in 2020. Both forum and museum were planned by the English architect David Chipperfield, who is based in Berlin. The extension building costed 39 million Euro, is dedicated to art from the late 19th to the 21st centuries and has a surface area of 5,500 square metres.
Beyond that, the Carmen Würth Forum is surrounded by an extensive sculpture garden. This sculpture garden features large sculptures of world-renowned sculptors, such as Georg Baselitz, Niki de Saint Phalle, Tony Cragg, Anish Kapoor, Anthony Caro, Alfred Hrdlicka, Eduardo Chillida and Jaume Plensa. However, the heart of the art collection is situated inside the museum.
On two floors, visitors can admire paintings and sculptures of modern painters and sculptors famous the world over. The collection comprises numerous artworks of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Fernand Legér, Rene Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Edvard Munch, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, Eugene Boudin, Joan Miró, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Max Beckmann, Max Liebermann, Anselm Kiefer, David Hockney, Jörg Immendorff, Jean Arp, Fernando Botero, Serge Poliakoff and Gerhard Richter, to name only the best known artists.
If you want to visit the museum, just follow the A6 motorway between Nuremberg and Heilbronn. Take the exit to Kupferzell then and follow the road about 9 km (5.6 miles) towards Kuenzelsau. After having arrived in Gailsbach, the museum is well-signposted. And if you are interested in art, you definitely won’t regret your visit.
About David Hockney:
David Hockney, who was born in 1937, is an English painter, draftsman, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. As an important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. Hockney grew up in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire. He studied at the Bradford College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. In 1964 he moved to Los Angeles, but returned to Europe in the 1990s.
He has experimented with painting, drawing, printmaking, watercolours, photography, and many other media including a fax machine, paper pulp, computer applications and iPad drawing programs. The subject matter of interest ranges from still lifes to landscapes, portraits of friends, his dogs, and stage designs for the Royal Court Theatre, Glyndebourne, and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
His works are housed in numerous public and private collections worldwide, including the 1853 Gallery at Salts Mill, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, to name just a few.
Hockney has always had a vivid interest in fashion too: In 1986, he was inducted into Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed Hall of Fame. In 2005, Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey centred his entire spring/summer menswear collection around the artist. And in 2012, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, a close friend, named a checked jacket after Hockney. In 2011, British GQ named him one of the 50 Most Stylish Men in Britain and in March 2013, he was listed as one of the Fifty Best-dressed Over-50s by The Guardian.
This is a wonderful capture. David Hockney (seated) is one of England's leading 20th century artists, along with Freud and Bacon (the "big three"). I would think that a portrait of Hockney by Freud would be much sought after. Both of their works have sold for tens of millions of dollars. Lucian Freud is Sigmund Freud's grandson.

Landscape 1997. In the late 1990's David Hockney returned to Yorkshire, this resulted in a series of high-key landscapes such as this. The colours do not seem to reflect the muted tones of English landscape or indeed the weather often associated with such places. As with his other work they have elements of cubism and have a very strong decorative content.
Back in the 1960sDavid Hockney was the bleached-blond rebel who electrified the art scene. He was Britain's answer to Andy Warhol. Today, at 74, David Hockney is one of the pre-eminent artists living in the UK and is anything but retired. In the past years he has become a prolific landscape painter.
Seven years ago he returned from sunny California to settle down in Yorkshire. While he used to paint Californian landscapes by the dozens his current subject is the English landscape of his childhood, but on an American scale.
In a TV programme Hockney said that these landscapes were as much about memory as observation, indeed he brought up the interesting point that all landscape is about memory. HIs work in this genre has gone on for twelve years working on a huge scale and with watercolour and in recent times digital imagery. Hockney's work is about the way he sees and what it is to see, be it through the lens, eye or through sensation and feeling itself. He is a painter who has had a lasting impression upon me. My recent set on The Camera and the artist is an extension of some of his ideas.
In 2012 Hockney is exhibiting a large body of Yorkshire landscapes at The Royal Academy. His landscape work has deeply influenced my own recent series of drawings based on Ipsden Oxfordshire.http://www.flickr.com/photos/oxfordshire_church_photos/sets/72157626827304866/
As with David Hockney's Yorkshire landscapes I've returned time and time again to work and observe the landscape drawing it almost daily.

A second capture from David Hockney’s ‘immersive’ exhibition in London. Always being at the forefront of art and new technology, this extraordinary artist arrived in London in 2023 to use large-scale projection and an enveloping sound system in a huge new space. Here, thanks to his innovation, ingenuity and commentary, he took the visitor on a personal journey through 60 years of his work, and he called the event David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away).
For any Hockney aficionado, and I count myself as one, this was revealing and absorbing – for the overall sensory experience, of course, but also because of his enlightening tailor-made commentary. “The world” he says, “is very, very beautiful, but most people don’t look very much. They scan the ground in front of them so they can walk; they don’t really look at things with any kind of intensity. I do.” This exhibition showed us the fabulous, colourful results of his observations.

Wayne Sleep and George Lawson (acrylique sur toile, 212,5 x 300,8 cm, 1972-75)
David Hockney (b. 1937) - Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy (1968). In a private collection. Shown at the temporary exhibition "David Hockney 25" at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, April-August 2025.
The curators commented: "This painting of the writer Christopher Isherwood and his companion the painter Don Bachardy is one of the most representative of David Hockney’s double portraits. Depicted frontally, its quasi-stillness broken only by the movement of Isherwood’s head, for the young Hockney they symbolise the freedom of Californian society, where a male couple of different ages could be seen in a relationship that today would be described as “open”."
There was a considerable age difference between Dan, born in 1934 and Christopher, born in 1904. Friends were skeptical when they met in 1942 but the relationship lasted until Christopher's death in 1986 (of prostate cancer). Dan still lives in their house.

Back in the 1990s, before digital cameras were invented, and under the influence of David Hockney's famous photo collages, I experimented with shooting lots of 35mm prints of family life and assembled them onto large sheets of paper.
Watched a programme on David Hockney recently, which gave me the idea for this week's picture - shoes. Yes I know technically they're boots but I don't really do shoes.

At first I did not think that we would get along. When she told me that she was working on a script about a multi generational tale of women in a family, my gun was cocked and loaded with sarcasm that I was only a little too polite to fire.
She laughed, not believing that I was in Hollywood to paint. It was not why I was here but what I would do.
"No one comes to Los Angeles to paint,,,ha ha.."
"What about David Hockney?"
"Yeah well.."
We liked the same brand and with the same amount of ice. I put my index finger over the top of my straw, lifting it out of the glass of soda water. Lifting my finger, i let it shoot into the bourbon. She made some comment that i thought rude until she explained that it was a quote from a movie.
Flushed, her cheeks now seemed rounder. She leaned forward nearly knocking over my empty glass.
"Listen, never punch up a script on spec, that is how they get you, you are made to feel as if it's an audition, do a good job and they will take care of you. A good friend of mine, went to a good college had years of this, it's a scam to get free work out of you."
I asked her how she knew I was here to write scripts and not act...
Momentarily, I could read her mind, things about my age, my looks immediately came to mind. She caught herself before her words could take wing, the little pink tip of her tongue protruding from between her teeth.
"No, you're a clever guy, none of that."
She was quick on her feet with only a slight time delay.
Pointing to my bag, she asked me what it was.
"My paints."
