"ON EN SAIT MOINS QU'ON LE PENSE"
Aujourd'hui, David Hockney vit à Londres où il vient d'achever des peintures inspirées d'Edvard Munch
et de William Blake.
After Munch: Less /s Known Than People Think fait écho à un dessin du peintre norvégien vu dans un catalogue d'exposition, et reprend le titre d'un article du New York Times de 1998 sur l'inconnaissable dans les sciences, que l'artiste avait épinglé au mur de son atelier.
La deuxième peinture, After Blake: Less Is Known Than People Think, renvoie aux illustrations
La deuxième peinture, After Blake: Less Is Known Than People Think, renvoie aux illustrations
de cet artiste pour la Divine Comédie de Dante. Les deux toiles, comme toujours chez Hockney, t
raitent de l'espace, tout en marquant, selon lui, une dimension « plus spirituelle ».
Dans son tout récent autoportrait Play within a Play within a Play and Me with a Cigarette, Hockney se représente vêtu d'un costume en tweed, assis dans son jardin. Sur les genoux du peintre on aperçoit le collage de l'œuvre en cours de réalisation, les jonquilles annonçant l'arrivée du printemps.
"LESS IS KNOWN THAN PEOPLE THINK"
Today, David Hockney lives in London, where he has recently completed paintings inspired by Edvard Munch and William Blake. After Munch: Less Is Known than People Think echoes a small drawing by the Norwegian master that he saw in a catalogue for a recent exhibition at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam, hile the title comes from a 1998 New York Times article on the unknowable in science, which Hockney pinned up in his studio.
The second painting, After Blake: Less Is Known Than People Think, refers to that artist's illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy. As always with Hockney, the two works deal with space, and have, according to him, a "more spiritual" dimension.
In his most recent self-portrait, Play within a Play within a Play and Me with a Cigarette, Hockney has depicted himself dressed in a tweed suit, sitting in his garden. On the painter's lap we see the collage of the work in progress, daffodils announcing the arrival of spring.
