It's style Jim, but not as we know it.

I'm trying to help you, I'm trying to help you to have standards. I'm trying to make you know that the world isn't pleased to see you. You're ugly and superfluous and ignorant and you should be frightened and meek and grateful.

Re: Hockney Style...

He is the best living British artist and his current landscape phase is a beacon of skill, craftmanship and art being the perfect tonic to the utter vacuous shite of the conceptual art world.

The man is a national treasure.

His style befits his personality, although he is in a moldy fig stage these days, which does reflect quite aptly his positive view on tobacco smoking.

Re: Hockney Style...

Hockney is so good at what he does, including dressing.

And if I had the money, faced with the choice of hanging a Lucien Freud or Francis Bacon vs a Hockney, guess which one I'd choose.

Re: Hockney Style...

I gather from the above post, that this Hockney chap takes himself much too seriously, and dresses himself ironically in the most unflattering way possible while presenting a distinct artistic vision. Clowns also present an artistic vision. Beyond the hurbis of the artiste, he still looks like a clown.

Re: Hockney Style...

But it's all about the image dahling.  There is a photograph somewhere og thois older chap in an outrageous suit for the opening of the Ivy Sytle exhibition at the MFIT.  He looks great because he understands a little goes a long way, otherwise it becomes a parody.

Re: Hockney Style...

I always knew he couldn't paint worth a damn, now I know he applies the same 'talent' to dressing.

Very sadly Formby, looks like you, Chevere, Grandfather's Pants and myself are the only ones who can recognise genius and art on this thread.

Cigarette smokers have rights.  The right to be outside in the rain as I don't want second hand smoke.  Pipe and good quality cigar smokers welcome in the patio.

Re: Hockney Style...

I can take inspiration from various things, probably because I never copy. I can certainly nick tricks from Hockney... But without ever looking like him.

I suspect that's the way to do it... To quote Mr. Punch.
