By 1978, David Hockney had begun experimenting with paper pulp and liquid dyes to capture the elusive surface of water in motion, leading to pieces like This print. The composition features a deep blue pool defined by energetic brushstrokes, contrasted by the sharp geometry of a bright red floating mattress. Stylized pink figures appear as gestural movements within the water, while a stark white splash erupts against a backdrop of minimalist green trees. The cream-colored border and bold typography ground the piece in the aesthetic of high-end gallery posters.

This piece captures the quintessential California lifestyle that defined a major period of the artist’s career. It evokes the warmth of a sun-drenched afternoon, the tactile sensation of cool water, and the leisure of mid-century suburban life. There is a sense of joyful spontaneity in the way the colors collide, inviting the viewer to step into a world where light and motion are the primary subjects. It reflects a moment of pure, unadulterated relaxation and artistic playfulness.

It earns its spot in a wall of mid century modern art, with abstract art prints making an easy companion.
