Product description
This print captures the artist’s beloved dachshund, Little Stanley, nestled in a deep, circular slumber upon a pool of textured blue paint. The composition is uniquely meta, presenting the artwork within a depicted ornate gold frame that hangs from a sketched nail, all set against a clean white field with bold, hand-rendered typography from the 1988 Tate Gallery retrospective.
Beyond the mere depiction of a pet, this piece evokes the intimate domesticity that defined much of Hockney’s later work. It suggests a slow afternoon in a sunlit studio, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the gentle rise and fall of a sleeping animal. The contrast between the rich, painterly strokes of the central dog and the graphic, almost playful lettering of the exhibition details creates a balance of fine art and modern design history.
Grouped with mid century modern art, the composition holds its own; david hockney posters round out the theme.
