David Hockney Boodge Print 1993 Framed Black

David Hockney Little Boodge 1993 - framed black Black Glazed Frame White Mount Frame Size 33cm x 43cm Displaying one of his beloved Dachshunds, Little Boodge pays homage to one of Hockney's most significant bodies of work, Dog Paintings. David Hockney is one of the world's most famous artists, acclaimed for his contributions to the Pop Art movement & perhaps best known for his evocative depictions of California swimming pools. Born in 1937, he has been a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene for decades, with his work spanning a variety of mediums including painting, printmaking, photography & even digital art. Throughout his long & illustrious career, one of the defining aspects of Hockney's life & work is his deep affection for his muses. Notable amongst these is his love for dachshunds, who have been recurring subjects in his work since 1987. This affection is most famously documented through portraits of his two dogs, Stanley & Boodgie, who have brought joy & inspiration to the artists & viewers alike, finding their way into Hockney's art in a characteristically charming manner. I realised I was painting my best friends, Stanley & Boodgie. They sleep with me; I'm always with them here. They don't go anywhere without me & only occasionally do I leave them. They're like little people to me. The subject wasn't dogs but my love of the little creatures David Hockney David Hockney Boodge Print 1993 Framed Black
