David Hockney, (born 9 July 1937) is an English painter, draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer and photographer. An important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century.
Hockney has a home and studio in Kensington, London and two residences in California, where he has lived on and off for over 30 years: one in Nichols Canyon, Los Angeles, and an office and archives on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California.
Showing the actress Theresa Russell nude on a pink satin sheet, this joiner - entitled Nude, 17th June 1984 - was used as a poster for the 1985 RIP Arles (Recontres Internationales de la Photographie, Arles /Arles photographic festival.)
On Gilded Birds: A Snapshot of Contemporary Ideals of Beauty, Mandi Lennard says of Hockney's image, '(It) literally hit me in the face. He’s taken its subject, Theresa Russell, to the point of ugliness where she looks incredibly beautiful, giving her strength and a raw vulnerability."
