Just as real life labours after art, Appleby reflected, so do artists labour after literature. At least young artists do. In each generation they find their Portrait of an Artist in the work of some accomplished novelist - and then they live up to it hard.

MWW Artwork of the Day (7/8/22) David Hockney (British, b. 1937) Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)(1972) Acrylic on canvas, 213.5 x 305 cm. Private Collection

Hockney came of age in Britain's Mod Sixties and his paintings often have the glitzy, hip look of that era. Born in Yorkshire and educated at some good public schools, he attended the Royal College of Art in the late 1950s, where he befriended the American expatriate artist R.B. Kitaj. Where Kitaj's paintings are intellectual and redolent with historical associations, Hockney's work is the epitome of British Pop, a sort of fusion of Andy Warhol and Edward Hopper, iconic images of the Affluent Society rendered with breath-taking precision in Technicolor and a super-realistic style. After a 1963 visit to New York to pay homage to Warhol, he made a pilgrimage to southern California (the "Mecca of the Modern"), which inspired him to do a series of pictures (in acrylic) featuring (what else?) swimming pools.

Hockney is one of the featured artists in this MWW gallery/album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.571541662951207&type=3
