    David Hockney Lithograph of Water Made of Lines, and a Green Wash, and a Light Blue Wash (M.C.A.T 205)

    Lithograph of Water Made of Lines, and a Green Wash, and a Light Blue Wash  is part of a series of prints by David Hockney exploring the visual complexity and symbolism of swimming pools. After moving from London to Los Angeles in 1964, Hockney became fascinated by the bright light, modern architecture, and abundance of backyard pools that defined the Californian landscape. These pools soon became a central motif in his art, representing leisure, freedom, and the distinctive lifestyle of Southern California. Through lithography, Hockney investigates the formal challenge of depicting water’s constantly shifting surface while capturing the atmosphere of his new environment.

  • About David Hockney Lithograph of Water Made of Lines, and a Green Wash, and a Light Blue Wash 

    In Lithograph of Water Made of Lines, and a Green Wash, and a Light Blue Wash, David Hockney presents a serene swimming pool scene rendered through layered washes of blue and green. The surface of the water is animated by undulating blue lines that vary in thickness and direction, evoking ripples and the shimmering effects of sunlight on water. Although the composition appears simple and flat at first glance, these subtle tonal variations create an illusion of depth and movement. The landscape orientation allows the viewer to feel as though they are gazing across the surface of the pool, immersed in the quiet stillness of the scene. Through this balance of abstraction and recognisable imagery, Hockney demonstrates his fascination with the visual problem of representing water and the dynamic interplay between light, colour, and reflection.
