▲ David Hockney OM CH RA (b.1937) 'Pool Made With Paper and Blue Ink' for the book 'Paper Pools' (MCA Tokyo 234)lithograph in colours, 1980, signed and dated 'Hockney 80' in pencil l.r., and numbered '681/1000', published by Tyler Graphics Ltd., Mount Kisco, New York, with blind stamp sheet 27 x 24cmWhen thinking about David Hockney, the subject of the swimming pool is one that comes to mind. It has become one of the defining motifs of his artistic career and an iconic image of modern art. The theme recurs frequently in his paintings, drawings, photographs and prints.Hockney’s fascination with pools began in 1964 when he flew over Los Angeles and was captivated by the vivid expanse of blue pools dotting the Californian landscape - an image starkly different from the scenery of Britain he had left behind. To Hockney, the swimming pool was a representation of pleasure and leisure in the 1960s, and a joyous image to reproduce. Additionally, it provided a creative opportunity to explore the play of light and reflections on water, shaped by ripples, curves and shadows cast by gentle breezes or the movement of swimmers.This motif repeatedly surfaced in his work over the years, including the present lithograph titled 'Pool Made With Paper and Blue Ink for a Book'. This piece was created for the special edition book 'Paper Pools' by David Hockney, edited by Nikos Stangos and published in 1980 by Thames & Hudson. The book delves into Hockney’s 'Paper Pool' series, comprising twenty-nine paper pulp artworks that he created in 1978 while staying with his friend, the printmaker Ken Tyler. Inspired by this new medium, Hockney used Tyler’s swimming pool as the subject for this lithograph. He meticulously studied the pool at various times of the day and night, observing and recording the interplay of light and colour, through drawings and photographs.Though smaller in scale compared to Hockney’s large oil paintings, this lithograph is equally vibrant and demonstrates meticulous precision in its execution. The image was initially hand-drawn by the artist and then printed in six colours from three lithographic limestones and three aluminium plates. This lot is pencil signed and numbered '681' from a limited edition of 1,000 prints with an additional 122 proofs. Condition ReportFramed: 58 x 49.5cmPresents well overall. In our opinion the colours are bright. Slight time staining to the margins. There is some acid discolouration to the extreme edges.

Born in Moravia (now the Czech Republic), Mucha initially worked as an illustrator before gaining international fame in 1894 with his iconic poster for the French stage actress Sarah Bernhardt in Gismonda. His success led to a long-term collaboration with Bernhardt and a prolific career in commercial art, designing posters, advertisements, book illustrations, and decorative panels.
