Remember seeing this in a Sunday Times colour supplement in the 80s. It went straight into my brain. A few years later I got to stand in front of it at a Tate retrospective- it really was monumental

So many paintings to remember Hockney by but I’ve got a soft spot for these early ones
So…if you didn’t like him - how about you keep it to yourself - you’re not adding to the sum of joy.
Book post is the best post.
