DAVID HOCKNEY (b. 1937)

`Ken [Tyler] had a swimming pool in the garden and every day we would have lunch by the swimming pool, every lunch time I would have a swim. I kept looking at the swimming pool; and it’s a wonderful subject, water, the light on the water…every time you look at the surface, you look through it, you look under it…’

(David Hockney, quoted in: C. Simon Sykes, Hockney - The Biography, A Pilgrim’s Progress, p. 78)
