David Hockney — Steps with Shadow F (Paper Pool 2)
David Hockney

Steps with Shadow F (Paper Pool 2)

A vibrant and sun-drenched composition, this work by David Hockney captures the interplay of light, shadow, and water that defined his celebrated Paper Pool series, created through an innovative process of hand-blended coloured pulp paper. The luminous blues and dappled shadows evoke the shimmering atmosphere of a California swimming pool, rendered with Hockney's characteristic warmth and sensory immediacy. One of 16 variants in the series, this signed and initialled work was published by the renowned Tyler Graphics Ltd., reflecting the close artistic collaboration between Hockney and master printer Kenneth Tyler.

Medium
Signed with initials and dated in white ink on the front, annotated '2-F' in pencil on the reverse (one of 16 variants), published by Tyler Graphics Ltd., Mount Kisco, New York (with their inkstamp), framed.
