A richly colored etching and aquatint, this work by David Hockney draws from Gustave Flaubert's tender novella "A Simple Heart," imagining the limited but vivid world of the devoted servant Félicité through the pages of a geography book. Hockney's characteristic playfulness with flat, bold color and line transforms the illustrated pages into a poignant meditation on imagination and longing, evoking the way a humble woman might construct an entire vision of the wider world from a single image. The work reflects Hockney's deep engagement with literary sources and his ability to distill complex emotional narratives into visually immediate, intimate compositions.
