Meaning & Analysis

A series of music notes runs parallel to the bottom line of the square shape, creating a dialogue with an unfinished guitar shape above. Images related to music can be seen as a unifying theme across the diverse works included in The Blue Guitar series to which Discord Merely Magnifies belongs. Hockney inserts musical references in each of the etchings as a way of engaging with idea of imaginative freedom explored originally by Wallace Stevens in his 1937 poem The Man With The Blue Guitar. Considering its abstract composition, eclectic accumulation of geometrical shapes and images, the print can be seen as a visual representation of Stevens’ central stanza: “Things as they are are changed upon the blue guitar.” Here, Hockney demonstrates the power of the medium to represent his private world of imagination.
