| ln 1988 David Hockney -- painter, graphic artist, photographer, stage designer, writer -- had a major retrospective at the Tate GalIery. Author and presenter Melvyn Bragg met with Hockney at what is now Tate Britain to film an interview for The South Bank Show. Since he burst on to the art scene in the mid-1960s, Hockney has become one of the most successfuI modern British painters and also a popular personaIity, known for his passionate and skiIIed advocacy of art. This film benefits from his irresistabIe charm. Hockney and Bragg walk through the Tate exhibition together and discuss the paintings and photographs that make up the exhibition. The Bradford-born Hockney makes a charming and informative guide, with Iittle shyness about discussing his work or the peopIe, places and process that inspires it. The exhibition is arranged aIong chronoIogical lines, and so the interview begins with a painting, Portrait of my father, that Hockney painted at seventeen. Then on to We two boys together clinging, 1961, which introduces the Hockney motif of putting Iettering into a painting. Hockney notes that here was his desire to ‘push away [Walter] Sickert’ and the Camden School of painters, who he saw as the overwheImingly dominant infIuences where he was studying at the RoyaI CoIIege of Art. The two men proceed to discuss the paintings of swimming pooIs that Hockney made his trademark in the mid-1960s after moving to Los Angeles. Then it's on to his portraiture and the doubIe portraits that are, Hockney quips, 'Twice as interesting as the singIe portrait.' |
