About This Print
The David Hockney “Chair with a Horse” Masterpiece
Bring the sophisticated wit and vibrant palette of one of Britain’s greatest living artists into your space with this stunning poster featuring David Hockney’s 1970 painting, Chair with a Horse Drawn by Picasso. This piece exemplifies Hockney’s ability to merge different artistic styles and references within a single, striking composition. The poster features the bold, block lettering of Hockney’s name in a striking coral hue, framing the central image beautifully.
A Dialogue Between Masters
This artwork is a fascinating commentary on art history, showcasing a meticulously painted, plush purple-cushioned rattan chair set against a subtly textured, pale green wall. The background isn’t blank, however; it features a loose, charcoal-like outline drawing of a horse, directly referencing the iconic works of Pablo Picasso—a nod to the influence of Modernist giants. This juxtaposition of realistic still life (the chair) and abstracted drawing (the horse) creates a dynamic tension that is quintessentially Hockney.
Vibrant Mid-Century Modern Decor
Printed on premium, museum-quality stock, this poster captures the distinctive colors and textures of the original oil painting. The cool mint green, the rich purple of the cushion, and the warm rattan frame offer a calming yet intellectually engaging aesthetic perfect for contemporary living rooms, minimalist offices, or gallery walls seeking a touch of iconic mid-century modern flair. It’s more than just a print; it’s a piece of art historical conversation.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
