LOVED the current Hockney exhibition at LACMA showcases portraits, each one painted in a limited time-frame of three days – what Hockney calls a “20 hour exposure” – on identically sized canvases.
The subjects all sit in the same pale yellow chair, positioned on a turquoise floor with a blue background, or a blue floor with a turquoise background.
"Most people die of boredom, Hockney says, but “I’m not bored yet. I’m still curious. I’m still excited by pictures. I say that when I’m in the studio, I feel like I’m 30. But when I leave it, I know I’m 80. So, naturally, I stay in here. Wouldn’t you rather be 30?”
