David Hockney drawing "Carlos", Paris 1975.

In a grainy, over-the-shoulder photograph taken in Paris, 1975, David Hockney is absorbed in creating his drawing "Carlos." With his signature light hair and dark-rimmed glasses, Hockney's right hand is a blur of motion, wielding a pencil or charcoal stick over a large sheet of paper. The delicate portrait begins to take shape on the upper portion of the paper, held fast to a paint-splattered wooden easel. The dark, out-of-focus background isolates the artist, drawing all attention to the intimate act of creation.
