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

In his light-filled London studio in 1977, David Hockney works on his painting, "Self portrait with blue guitar." The high-angle photograph shows Hockney seated on a wheeled office chair, engrossed in the large canvas on his easel, palette and brush in hand. His creative space is brimming with works in progress, books, and tacked-up drawings. A double-lobed artist's palette hangs on the wall near a daybed covered in a geometric-patterned quilt, while vases of flowers rest on small tables.
