David Hockney

My initial reaction is to question the purpose of this photo and others like it, for i do not quite understand what these images are trying to say to its audience, what this image does is create a strange distortion in her face, which has quite a freaky effect. His work was clearly inspired by the art movement 'cubism', a movement created by Pablo Picaso, it's purpose was to create a new and different perspective on modern art, something that Hockney has defiantly done. In cubism artwork, objects are analysed, broken up and reassembled in an abstract way, instead of depicting the image from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from many to represent the subject in a greater context.However, I don't feel that Hockney's work is less randomly placed than Picaso's, it feels a little more organised and therefore the image is clearer.
