Meaning & Analysis
A Hollywood Collection (complete set) by David Hockney, created in 1965, comprises six lithographs in colours on Rives BFK paper. Each piece in the set of 85 is signed and dated, representing Hockney's exploration of various genres: still life, landscape, portrait, cityscape, nude, and abstract. This series showcases the artist's keen observations of Los Angeles' visual culture and his technical proficiency in printmaking during the 1960s.
Hockney's A Hollywood Collection (complete set) features six lithographs. Published by Editions Alecto in London and printed by Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, this series marks a notable collaboration in Hockney's early career. Each print is framed within a faux picture frame, using the tromp l'oeil frame to give a ‘picture-within-picture' quality to these prints.
The still life depicts an elaborate silver frame, while the landscape captures a sun-drenched Los Angeles scene with palm trees and modernist architecture. Hockney's portrait study features a stylised representation of a Hollywood star, and the nude reflects his interest in figurative art with a California twist. The cityscape print encapsulates urban Los Angeles, showcasing its sprawling layout and iconic skyline. The abstract piece completes the collection, demonstrating the artist's versatility. This set reflects Hockney's fascination with Los Angeles' visual elements and his engagement with Pop Art themes, evident in his use of bold colours and simplified forms.
