David Hockney Collages

The Cubist Period lasted formally from 1907-1914.  Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are credited with creating the style. Ignored perspective and other classical elements of art and showed all sides of their subject. Typically it was not a realistic representation of form or texture.

David Hockney is a popular comtemporary artist from Britain. He paints, makes prints, photographs and designs. Many of his pieces show all the sides of one object or vantage point, which reflects that property of cubism. During his time at the Royal College of Art, it is likely that he was exposed to Cubist work from artists such as Picasso.
