  • David Hockney Views of Hotel Well II

    'Notably, Hockney had just had a hearing aid fitted when he made this sequence, he later commented, "I actually think the deafness makes you see clearer. If you can’t hear, you somehow see."
    View of Hotel Well II by David Hockney is the second part of a three-part print sequence that focuses on the interior of the Hotel Acatlan, a remote Mexican City hotel, that provided the stimuli for multiple prints in Hockney’s pioneering Moving Focus Series.
    Hockney takes the signature features of the Hotel which he introduced in Hotel Acatlan (First Day, Second Day, Two Weeks Later), including a blood red paved floor, a sweeping portico suspended by blue wooden pillars, leafy green grassland and cacti plants, visible in the distance.  However, in line with the Moving Focus Series, in which he explored new print techniques to convey sense of movement, spatiality and perspective, View of Hotel Well II distorts the viewer’s gaze of this interior space.
    Hockney uses a bird’s eye view of the hotel courtyard, he creates a reverse style perspective, where the viewer feels like they are in motion looking onto this distorted courtyard scene, a style that relates back to his famous photo collages.
    Notably, Hockney had just had a hearing aid fitted when he made this sequence, he later commented, ‘I actually think the deafness makes you see clearer. If you can’t hear, you somehow see.’
    Hockney’s experiments with perspective relates back to the artist’s long term passion for Picasso and his use of cubist techniques, whilst the vibrant colours in View of Hotel Well I, give the image timeless dynamism.
