David Hockney working on "Self portrait with blue guitar". London 1977.

In his London studio in 1977, David Hockney works on his painting "Self portrait with blue guitar." Seen in profile with his signature blond hair and glasses, he leans forward from a modern swivel stool, intently focused on the large canvas before him. The well-lived-in space is a testament to his process, with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, desks covered in supplies, and sketches tacked to a board. In the foreground, a vase of real tulips mirrors the flowers being rendered in the artist's graphic, stylized manner.
