Meaning & Analysis

In the 1960s, when Hockney began his journey as an artist, realistic depictions of human features were considered to be outdated. In this print, Hockney employed a broken contour and used it as economically as possible to render Celia Birtwell’s appearance. Speaking of his belief in the inexhaustible possibilities of portraiture, Hockney has said: ‘They said you couldn’t do portraits anymore. But you can, everything is open now. Portraiture remains infinite.’

Measuring 120.7cm x 143.5cm, the work presents Celia Birtwell enlarged in size, contrasting with the small-scale drawings of friends that make Hockney’s 1976 Gemini G.E.L Portfolio. Dressed in a black skirt and a stripy top, the woman reclines on a bed and creates the impression of looming over the viewer. The thick, black-ink contour outlining the woman’s posture fades and picks up again in an irregular manner. Given its unusual use of a broken line, the print differs from the controlled hand drawings of Celia made in the late 1970s and attests to Hockney’s versatility as an artist who constantly sought new ways of approaching his favourite subjects and themes.
