Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy 1971 David Hockney Exhibition Art Print

At the center of this composition sits a white cat named Percy, though ironically, the cat featured in the final painting was actually his sibling, Blanche. This mr and mrs clark art print captures the quintessential coolness of 1970s London, showcasing fashion designer Ossie Clark and textile artist Celia Birtwell. The scene is bathed in a soft, diffused light streaming through large balcony shutters, illuminating the shaggy rug and the lilies on the coffee table against a muted, sophisticated palette of greens and greys.

Looking at this piece provides a window into a specific moment of creative partnership and domestic stillness. It evokes a sense of modern intimacy, where the subjects look directly at the viewer with a calm, almost detached poise. The interplay between the interior shadows and the bright foliage visible on the balcony creates a layered depth that reflects the complex relationships and artistic vibrancy of the era.

This specific work serves as a sophisticated focal point for a living room or a curated gallery wall. Its balanced composition and soft color scheme make it particularly effective in a home office or reading nook, where the calm energy of the scene can be fully appreciated. The large format and clean typography of the exhibition-style layout allow it to anchor a room without overwhelming other decorative elements.

This is a thoughtful selection for a collector of British modernism or someone who appreciates the intersection of fashion and fine art. It makes an excellent gift for an interior designer or a friend moving into a new home who loves the aesthetic of the 1970s. For those who admire Hockney’s ability to turn everyday domestic life into something monumental, this print remains an essential piece of art history.
