David Hockney working on "Self portrait with blue guitar". London 1977.
In his light-filled London studio, 1977, David Hockney is captured from a high angle as he works on "Self portrait with blue guitar." Seated on a wheeled stool, the artist dabs a paintbrush onto the large canvas propped on an easel. The spacious room, with its wide wooden floorboards, is a creative hive filled with numerous other canvases, books, and vases of tulips. The scene is one of focused activity amidst a lived-in, art-filled environment, with low shelves laden with supplies and a classical-style bust along the back wall.
