David Hockney working on "Self portrait with blue guitar". London 1977.
In his cluttered London studio in 1977, David Hockney is captured in a moment of contemplation while working on his painting "Self portrait with blue guitar". Seated sideways on a high stool, he holds a painter's palette in one hand and a thin paintbrush to his mouth, his focus directed at the large canvas on an easel. The creative space is filled with other canvases, sketches, and shelves crowded with books, a classical bust, and potted plants. An open art book lies on the wooden floorboards near his feet.
