David Hockney

Cubism “Joiners”

MiniLesson

This is probably a closer depiction of how we see the world - from multiple viewpoints pieced together by our mind.

He was interested in:

  • how we see and depict space and time.
  • how we turn a 3 dimensional world into a 2 dimensional image
  • how perspective is used in western art
  • the way this technique allowed the viewer to read space.
