A Picture Of Ourselves; And What Is This Picasso? (scottish Arts Council 210 & 218; Museum Of Contemporary Art, Tokyo 189 & 197)
A playful and intellectually charged work by David Hockney, this piece reflects his lifelong dialogue with the legacy of Pablo Picasso, exploring themes of artistic identity, influence, and self-referential imagery. Characteristic of Hockney's wit and conceptual depth, the work invites viewers to consider the relationship between artist and predecessor, between the self and the art historical canon. The dual-titled nature of the piece suggests a layered conversation about perception, representation, and the meaning we construct around celebrated artistic figures.
