A Taste of Honey (1961)
Tumblr media
Movie #1,069 • WATCHLIST WEDNESDAYS
Really felt for the main character in this one. This was at the forefront of something called "kitchen sink realism," a British arts movement wherein stories focused on how the other half lives, etc. (IDK feels like there's always been movies about this but what do I know.) The accents are adorable and definitely gotta give it credit for showcasing both a gay main character and an interracial relationship in 1961. Probably won't dig into this (or this era) again any time soon, but an enjoyable little movie nonetheless.
SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Propaganda
Jeanne Moreau (Jules et Jim, Elevator to the Gallows, The Night)—Oh my. What a career! She's worked with directors from all over the world! Luis Buñuel, Tony Richardson, Bertrand Blier, Elia Kazan, André Téchiné, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wim Wenders, Amos Gitai, Theo Angelopoulos, Michelangelo Antonioni, Orson Welles, Jacques Demy, Joseph Losey, François Truffaut... She played good and she played evil, Machiavellian and sweet, she could do it all. She's magnetic, her mouth is sensual, her gaze direct and demanding, she's absolutely unforgettable. […] Iconic Jules & Jim scene where she's singing; I picked a link with English subtitles. […] What can I say? She's an ICON, pure and simple. [editor’s note: this was very good propaganda but I had to remove a large amount of it because it discussed her post-1970 career. Please keep your propaganda to items within our window of 1910-1970!]
Abbey Lincoln (Nothing but a Man, For Love of Ivy)—abbey lincoln was an actress, jazz vocalist, songwriter, and civil rights activist; in her acting career she's most noted for starring in nothing but a man, an independent drama about a black couple navigating life in a small town that's been called an important example of american neorealism, and for love of ivy, a romantic comedy co-starring sidney poitier
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

On February 9th 2007 the very well respected Scottish actor Ian Richardson passed away.
Ian William Richardson was born on April 7th 1934 in Edinburgh, he attended Ballgreen Primary School, Tynecastle High and George Heriot’s School in Edinburgh, he caught the acting bug early starring in an amateur production of A Tale of Two Cities at aged 14. The director encouraged his talent but warned that he would need to lose his Scottish accent to progress as an actor, a comment that would appall the likes of Ewen MacGregor nowadays.His mother arranged elocution lessons, and he became a stage manager with the semi-professional Edinburgh People’s Theatre.
After National Service in the Army (part of which he spent as an announcer and drama director with the British Forces Broadcasting Service) he obtained a place at the College of Dramatic Arts in Glasgow. After a period at the Old Rep (also known as the Birmingham Repertory Theatre), he appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company of which he was a founding member, from 1960 to 1975. During this time he also appeared on Broadway where the The New York Times, called his performance in a production as “outstanding.“ He would later play Henry Higgins in a revival of “My Fair Lady,” for which he was nominated for a Tony Award.
On the big screen he played the part of Oberon in a lukewarm film version of RSC’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream that nevertheless bore an elite company of Britain’s finest pre-Dames in Judi Dench, Helen Mirren and Diana Rigg..
Richardson starred in many UK mini-series including Porterhouse Blues, Lord Mountbatten: The Last Viceroy, The Gravy Train, and of course perhaps the most well know, House of Cards, playing the Machiavellian Tory politician Francis Urquhart, famous for the quote "You might well think that … I couldn���t possibly comment”, which became a catchphrase for the series.
Looking through his biography I wasn’t surprised to find he was in the excellent TV series Private Schultz, I was however surprised that he played three different roles in the six episodes!
Whereas he was less well known in on the other side of the Atlantic, Americans might also know him from commercials, as the man who asked, out of the window of a Rolls-Royce, for Grey Poupon mustard.
Richardson married actress Maroussia Frank in 1961, they spent the rest of his life together, in a 2007 interview she recalled the night he passed away…….
“We went to bed, and at 2am Ian made a little bit of a noise, as if he were having a dream. I just shook him a little and expected him to mutter something like: ‘What, oh sorry’ - but he didn’t. I got up and went round to his side of the bed.”
Her husband died in her arms a few minutes later.
She went on to say that Ian had told her he wanted to go first and that
“Ian would have been helpless on his own. I did everything for him. He didn’t even know which bank his account was with. In a way, it is good that he died in his sleep rather than suffer from a long illness - a wonderful way for him to go.”
Ian Richardson was 72 when he died of an undiagnosed Heart disease.

200 Films of 1952
Film number 161: Breaking the Sound Barrier (aka, The Sound Barrier)
Release date: Dec 6th, 1952 
Studio: London Film Productions/British Lion Films 
Genre: drama 
Director: David Lean 
Producer: David Lean 
Actors: Ralph Richardson, Ann Todd, Nigel Patrick, John Justin 
Plot Summary: J.R., a wealthy British airplane manufacturer, helped design a jet engine that makes breaking the sound barrier possible. A brilliant test pilot is chosen for the first flight, but he is also J.R.’s son-in-law. J.R.’s daughter Sue is frantic with worry over her husband’s safety, and she cannot understand why his life must be put into such danger. 
My Rating (out of five stars): ***¾  
This is an early David Lean film made just a few years before he became a superstar with The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago. This is a much smaller and simpler film than those, and if you hadn’t told me Lean directed this, I don’t think I would have guessed. Overall, this was enjoyable, and it definitely had its thrilling moments, but my main problem with it was the balance between the thrilling moments in the air and the family drama on the ground. (some spoilers!)
The Good: 
Ralph Richardson as John/J.R. His performance was very moving. For the first ¾ of the film, it was easy to believe he was just a cold unemotional man with a laser focus on work. As the plot unfolds, it slowly becomes apparent that it is absolutely not the truth. The script lays most of the burden to communicate this on Richardson, and he runs with it. 
Ann Todd as Sue. I immediately liked her- she wore very little makeup throughout, she had a wit about her, she was pretty in a fresh appealing way, and she didn’t completely succumb to the “Hollywood Good Wife Syndrome.” She caught a case of it, for sure, but thankfully it wasn’t deadly.  
Nigel Patrick as Tony, Sue’s test pilot husband. He was dashing, charming, and very likeable. 
The highlight of the movie was all the exciting flying scenes. There were several of them, and most were either real or highly convincing. They were edited and paced well to draw you in and keep your eyes glued to the screen. 
There were lots of real locations used and actual flying footage. It didn’t feel like a soundstage film. 
The orchestra in the background was fantastic. I enjoyed the score as well, but the orchestra itself sounded so beautiful I had to remind myself a couple of times to actually watch the movie and not just listen to it. 
The emotional complexity of J.R. As I mentioned when I discussed Richardson, I think the actual heart of the movie is this story arc. Because of Richardson’s performance and the delicate way it was written and shot, it was very affecting. 
The traumatic plot twist about 1 hour and 20 minutes in. I did NOT see it coming, and when it did, I kept writing “No! No! No!” in my notes. It was a very brave choice to make at that particular time within the film. In most films an event of this kind would either happen near the beginning or near the end. There was still 35 minutes of runtime in this. I give that plus marks for the uniqueness and audacity, and I think it ultimately made the film more powerful. 
I liked the relationship that developed between J.R. and Tony, his son-in-law. The way they became close tugged at my heart-stings, and yet the film never really veered toward the sentimental.
The Bad: 
Erasing Chuck Yeager from history! Now, I am no aviation expert, but even going into this film, I could have told you that American Chuck Yeager was actually the first person to break the sound barrier. How did I know that? From a movie, of course! 1983’s The Right Stuff! 
The film had a difficult time explaining why breaking the sound barrier was important. It seemed very hesitant to talk about the Soviets or Communism, or anything to do with the military. That was frustrating, especially when Sue was desperately trying to understand it herself. 
This movie was a mixture of a family drama and an adventure/thriller, and it didn’t work as well as it could have. The balance between the two was off for me- I think too much time was spent on family stuff, and not enough on the actual flying. I appreciated that it didn’t just half-heartedly cram in a little bit of family stuff, which is what most adventure films do, but it may have swung too far to the other side. 
Wow, the movie certainly believed baby boys were better than baby girls! It was deemed hugely important that Sue give birth to a boy.  
Women in the film were minimized in other ways- all of them were housewives who worried while the men went off to do important manly things. HOWEVER, this film gets a lot of points for making characters like Sue and Jess fairly well rounded. Neither of those women were just sweet little pushovers. Sue also appeared to have been in the Service at some point.
Oh god, more East Asian racism! It’s thankfully been quite awhile since this kind of “humor” has reared its disgusting head in my 1952 watchlist, but this was one of those horrible “Chinaman” jokes told for “comedic relief.” The less said, the better. 
There was a pretty clunky scene that used Sue as a conduit for the probable aeronautic ignorance of the audience. It briefly became an educational film that spelled things out like a mini-lecture on what the sound barrier actually was, the requirements for breaking it, and the dangers of doing so. It was helpful for me to have some things explicitly explained, but as a scene it felt awkward and contrived. It also seemed dubious that Sue would've been totally ignorant of this.

1960s Cinema
The 1960s marked a period of artistic and cultural exploration in cinema, with filmmakers challenging traditional norms and experimenting with new styles and themes.
French New Wave: The French New Wave movement had a profound influence on global cinema. Filmmakers like Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, and Agnès Varda challenged traditional filmmaking conventions, emphasizing personal expression, innovative storytelling techniques, and a sense of realism. Key films include "Breathless" (1960), "Jules and Jim" (1962), and "Cleo from 5 to 7" (1962).
Italian Neorealism: Although originating in the 1940s, Italian Neorealism continued to have an impact in the 1960s. Filmmakers like Federico Fellini and Michelangelo Antonioni explored themes of existentialism, alienation, and the human condition. Notable films include "La Dolce Vita" (1960), "8½" (1963), and "Blow-Up" (1966).
New Hollywood: The 1960s marked the beginning of the New Hollywood era, characterized by a shift towards more socially conscious and experimental filmmaking. Directors such as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Stanley Kubrick emerged during this time. Notable films include "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967), "The Graduate" (1967), and "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).
British New Wave: Similar to the French New Wave, the British New Wave, also known as the "kitchen sink" realism movement, emerged in the 1960s. Filmmakers like Tony Richardson and Lindsay Anderson depicted the struggles of working-class individuals and social issues. Notable films include "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" (1960) and "This Sporting Life" (1963).
Social and Political Films: The 1960s saw an increase in socially and politically conscious films, reflecting the turbulent times. Movies like "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962), "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1964), and "The Battle of Algiers" (1966) tackled issues such as racism, nuclear war, and colonialism.
James Bond Franchise: The 1960s introduced the iconic James Bond film series. Starting with "Dr. No" (1962), Sean Connery portrayed the suave British spy in several installments, including "Goldfinger" (1964) and "You Only Live Twice" (1967).
Experimental and Avant-Garde Cinema: The 1960s witnessed an increase in experimental and avant-garde filmmaking. Artists like Andy Warhol and Stan Brakhage pushed the boundaries of cinematic form and explored abstract and unconventional storytelling techniques.

Anna Louise Richardson in NYC, Day #8
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Today I caught the tram to Roosevelt Island. When my instructions said tram I thought that meant road tram not flying box!! What a spectacular view and wobbly leg inducing 3 minutes! The weather was milder and walking around the island was peaceful. Exactly what I needed after the past week was time to breathe fresh air and get some sunshine, I am missing plants and nature keenly. Most of the things on my walking tour were closed as it was early but I enjoyed reading about the history of the island as various infirmaries, a small pox hospital (now a fairytale looking ruin), and prison. One whole end of the island is a rather austere, ginormous marble structure dedicated to former President Roosevelt. Afterwards I spent time at Bryant Park, sitting in the sun, drinking terrible coffee, and people watching while I waited for the juggling activity. There is a group who juggle weekly and invite the public to come and learn, but sadly they were nowhere to be found today and the park seems to be in a big changeover from a winter wonderland to it's springtime/summer activities so I headed back to the apartment to make food and rest. The final activity of the day was an event at the New York Public Library in Lincoln Square 'Celebrating 90 Years of 92NY Moving Dance Forward'. It was a panel of 11 people split into groups from three generations of dance making and connection at this one venue that started in the 1930's as a Jewish mens organisation and morphed into one of the most important dance spaces in NYC. It initially felt a bit like going to a birthday party where I didn't know the host, but it was incredibly well put together and interesting. I found myself taking lots of notes. A poignant takeaway for me was that their audiences wanted challenging programming and were getting it so they kept coming back. They talked about dance as a celebration of human spirit and that dance would not exist if words could say everything. The 92nd Y was a progressive company that consistently resisted the doom of human trajectory, critiquing Nationalism through many conflicts, pioneering some of the first racially integrated dance companies and championing new forms of dance. At one point one of the current directors of the original dance company read a quote from a director in 1968 posing the still relevant question "Is it futile to make effort to better ones self as an artist when the world seems intent to blow itself up?.. Yes, because we have not abandoned hope, courage or vision for humans to come back from the brink of the abyss, until that happens what else can we do but go back to the studio and hone our craft". Reading more about this later I came across Toni Morrison's 2015 essay “No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear":
"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge — even wisdom. Like art."
It was clear that the importance of private philanthropy in the absence of government action can make or break an organisations ability to take the good risk on the best artwork. P.S. Emily Dickinson has come up twice in this week, I think I need to read more of her work.

Propaganda
Nieves Navarro Garcia (The Big Gundown, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)— i mean look at her. legendary model and actress in spaghetti westerns, giallo, and erotic comedies. my first introduction to her was as a widowed dominatrix keeping her ranch hands (all dressed in as little leather as possible) in line with a whip. and she fucking steals the one singular scene she’s in
Jeanne Moreau (Jules et Jim, Elevator to the Gallows, The Night)—Oh my. What a career! She's worked with directors from all over the world! Luis Buñuel, Tony Richardson, Bertrand Blier, Elia Kazan, André Téchiné, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wim Wenders, Amos Gitai, Theo Angelopoulos, Michelangelo Antonioni, Orson Welles, Jacques Demy, Joseph Losey, François Truffaut... She played good and she played evil, Machiavellian and sweet, she could do it all. She's magnetic, her mouth is sensual, her gaze direct and demanding, she's absolutely unforgettable.

The actor Ian Richardson was born on April 7th 1934 in Edinburgh.
Richardson attended Ballgreen Primary School and George Heriot's School in Edinburgh, he caught the acting bug early starring in an amateur production of A Tale of Two Cities at aged 14. The director encouraged his talent but warned that he would need to lose his Scottish accent to progress as an actor, a comment that would appall the likes of Ewen MacGregor nowadays.His mother arranged elocution lessons, and he became a stage manager with the semi-professional Edinburgh People's Theatre.
After National Service in the Army (part of which he spent as an announcer and drama director with the British Forces Broadcasting Service) he obtained a place at the College of Dramatic Arts in Glasgow. After a period at the Old Rep (also known as the Birmingham Repertory Theatre), he appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company of which he was a founding member, from 1960 to 1975. During this time he also appeared on Broadway where the The New York Times, called his performance in a production as “outstanding." He would later play Henry Higgins in a revival of “My Fair Lady,” for which he was nominated for a Tony Award.
On the big screen he played the part of Oberon in a lukewarm film version of RSC's A Midsummer Night's Dream that nevertheless bore an elite company of Britain's finest pre-Dames in Judi Dench, Helen Mirren and Diana Rigg..
Richardson starred in many UK mini-series including Porterhouse Blues, Lord Mountbatten: The Last Viceroy, The Gravy Train, and of course perhaps the most well know, House of Cards, playing the Machiavellian Tory politician Francis Urquhart, famous for the quote "You might well think that ... I couldn't possibly comment", which became a catchphrase for the series.
Looking through his biography I wasn't surprised to find he was in the excellent TV series Private Schultz, I was however surprised that he played three different roles in the six episodes!
Whereas he was less well known in on the other side of the Atlantic, Americans might also know him from commercials, as the man who asked, out of the window of a Rolls-Royce, for Grey Poupon mustard.
Richardson married actress Maroussia Frank in 1961, they spent the rest of his life together, in a 2007 interview she recalled the night he passed away on February 7th that year.......
"We went to bed, and at 2am Ian made a little bit of a noise, as if he were having a dream. I just shook him a little and expected him to mutter something like: 'What, oh sorry' - but he didn't. I got up and went round to his side of the bed."
Her husband died in her arms a few minutes later.
She went on to say that Ian had told her he wanted to go first and that
"Ian would have been helpless on his own. I did everything for him. He didn't even know which bank his account was with. In a way, it is good that he died in his sleep rather than suffer from a long illness - a wonderful way for him to go."
Ian Richardson was 72 when he died of an undiagnosed Heart disease

An unrepentant lifetime smoker, David Hockney, 87, wheezes from respiratory difficulties. He sleeps during some of the day and is watched over by round-the-clock nurses. His deafness, the first signs of which he noticed in 1979, has worsened considerably, so that even with hearing aids he relies on lipreading to facilitate conversation. In July 2023, he moved to London from his house in rural Normandy, France, partly because he needed to be in close range of a hospital in case of an emergency.And yet, for three hours or so each day, Hockney marshals his energies to sit down and paint. Earlier this year, he was still making pictures to include in his largest exhibition to date, “David Hockney, 25,” a retrospective scheduled to open on April 9 at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, in Paris. Working with his companion, Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, who is known as JP, Hockney has been instrumental in shaping the contours of the show.As the title indicates, “David Hockney, 25” will spotlight his 21st--century output, pictures he has made in the past 25 years. “He’s done a huge amount of work in that period,” says Sir Norman Rosenthal, former head of the Royal Academy of Arts, who is the Fondation’s guest curator. “He’s a kind of Picasso figure, in terms of the breadth and variety of concentration and the sheer production.” The exhibition will also include some earlier iconic works, among them A Bigger Splash (1967), Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Percy (1970–71), and Portrait of an -Artist (Pool With Two Figures) (1972)—the last of which sold in 2018 for $90.3 million, a price that remains the record at auction for a painting by a living artist.Hockney’s painting After Blake: Less Is Known Than People Think, 2024.Jonathan Wilkinson, © David Hockney.Like his hero, Picasso, Hockney has managed to create a prodigious quantity of acclaimed art while maintaining a public persona that enjoys brand-name recognition. A celebrity since his mid-20s, he dyed his dark hair blond and wore oversize round eyeglasses, guilelessly crafting a look that distinguished him from the crowd. Shunning plain clothes, he opted for checks, tattersalls, plaids, and, especially, stripes. His socks were brightly colored and mismatched. A cigarette was never far from his lips.Also like Picasso, he immortalized a succession of lovers in a multitude of portraits—only in Hockney’s case, the lovers are male. While a student at the Royal College of Art, in London, at a time when -homosexuality was still illegal in Britain, he depicted gay sexuality and domesticity with courageous insouciance. Back then, influenced by Jean Dubuffet, he was making blocky “art brut” figures—but Hockney’s boxy men were hugging and kissing (We Two Boys Together Clinging, 1961) or engaged in reciprocal fellatio (Adhesiveness, 1960). His life-study painting, a requirement for graduation, was inspired by a muscleman posing on the cover of a homoerotic physique magazine. Was he penalized? To the contrary, his paintings were praised in the press after being chosen in two consecutive years for the “Young Contemporaries” show in a London gallery. Upon graduation, he was awarded a gold medal of distinction with his diploma. He wore a gold lamé jacket to the ceremony.In 1974, Sir John Rothenstein, the longtime director of the Tate, wrote that Hockney “enjoyed an immediate, international success that began when he was still a student—something achieved by no serious painter within my earlier personal experience.” Through his beguiling personality as well as his talent, he entered elite social circles, making dear friends of Christopher Isherwood and Billy Wilder, and fraternizing with the likes of Andy Warhol, Paloma Picasso, Amanda Lear, Karl Lagerfeld, Tony Richardson, Dennis Hopper, Stephen Spender…the list goes on and on.Clockwise from top left: A portrait by Cecil Beaton, 1965; Hockney, with artists Raymond Foye (left) and Jerry Sohn, in front of a wall-size work, 1980; with the painting that won him the first prize at the John Moores National Museums Liverpool exhibition, 1967; Hockney, circa 1985; in Los Angeles, circa 1978; Hockney’s painting The Most Beautiful Boy in the World being hung at the Royal College of Art’s “Young Contemporaries” exhibition in London, 1961; the film poster for A Bigger Splash, 1973; at work in his studio, 1984; Mozart’s The Magic Flute, with sets designed by Hockney, 1987; with Peter Schlesinger on the set of A Bigger Splash; Portrait of an Artist (Pool With Two Figures), 1972.

That was especially true of Los Angeles, which he, more than any other artist, has visually defined in the public’s imagination. He moved there in 1964, having idealized it—and painted it—beforehand, with an erotic aura he absorbed from reading Physique Pictorial and gay fiction. As he looked down from the airplane and saw the profusion of blue swimming pools, he knew he had found his home.Over the next decades, Hockney would depict L.A. as a collection of shimmering pools, towering palms, and low-slung modernist houses, all aglow in a flat bright light. And the city, in turn, would leave its mark on him. Before he arrived, he was painting people as heads atop rectangles. Beginning in 1966 with a painting of a friend, the gallerist Nick Wilder, he began doing portraits of specific people.In his personal life, he was teaching an art course at UCLA, and at the start of the term he fell for an 18-year-old student, Peter Schlesinger. Their five-year relationship was the first love of Hockney’s life. Its dissolution in 1971, chronicled with unusual intimacy in Jack Hazan’s semi-fictionalized documentary A Bigger Splash, left him bereft. He expressed his forlorn feelings in his work, most famously in Portrait of an Artist, with the artist being Schlesinger, who is standing at the edge of a pool and looking down at a man swimming.Clockwise from top left: Hockney’s Portrait of My Father, 1955; with his then partner, Peter Schlesinger, 1969; at home in Los Angeles, 1987; with his dog, circa 1999; poolside in Los Angeles with David Stoltz (left) and Ian Falconer, circa 1978; a painting of his current companion, Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, 2013; with Celia Birtwell beside Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Percy, 1970–71; in the Hollywood Hills, circa 1978; his memoir David Hockney by David Hockney: My Early Years, 1988; with Paloma Picasso, 1984; Hockney’s painting Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy, 1968; Cecil Beaton and Hockney, photographed by Schlesinger, 1970; with Keith Haring at Mr Chow restaurant, 1985.Clockwise from top left: Richard Schmidt, The David Hockney Foundation, © David Hockney; Chris Morphet/Redferns/Getty Images; Anthony Barboza/Getty Images; Mikel Roberts/Sygma via Getty Images; Michael Childers/Corbis via Getty Images; © David Hockney; Nick Harvey/WireImage; Michael Childers/Corbis via Getty Images; Abe Books; Alan Davidson/Shutterstock; Fabrice Gibert, © David Hockney; Peter Schlesinger; © Ben Buchanan, American Art Archives.For the most part, however, his portrayals of pools, especially in Los Angeles, were sunnier. In 1988, in the catalog for a Hockney retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, its director Earl A. Powell III wrote, “It is through Hockney’s work that many people derive their impressions of life in Southern California, a landscape redolent with sunshine, swimming pools, and palm trees.” That was 37 years ago. The smoke of the catastrophic L.A. wildfires was still fresh when I asked Hockney for his reaction to the devastation. He has two homes there, one in the Hollywood Hills and one in Malibu, on the beach. The golden dream of Southern California was now grievously smudged. “I lived in L.A. for 30 years, and I probably won’t go back now,” he told me, speaking through an associate who read him my questions. “Somebody said my little house on the beach survived because it was on rocks and you went up the steps to the wooden garages. And maybe it has. I don’t know. I am sure it must be a sadder place, L.A. right now.”But looking back feels unnatural to Hockney. He prefers to make new work that can be included in the upcoming show. In his latest self-portrait, he adopted a characteristic pose, seated in his garden, drawing a tree with one hand and holding a cigarette in the other. He has also made recent studies of his nurses, Lewis and Sonja. These paintings are tinged with the wistful tenderness that can come in old age to those fortunate enough to accept it gracefully. “I recently did Lewis and Sonja because I have got to know their faces, you see, because they are looking at me and I am looking at them,” he said. “Otherwise, you are not sure what people really look like. I know we are all different—everybody’s different. And like the leaves on the trees, they fall off at different times; they don’t all fall off at once.”Hockney with his dog, Tess.Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, © David Hockney.Hockney’s budding years took place in a working-class household in Bradford, a city in northern England. His father, a pacifist, was an accountant’s clerk; his mother, a devout Methodist and a vegetarian, tended the home. They recognized Hockney’s artistic talent and drive at an early age and, with some hesitation, bowed to his insistence that he forgo getting a job and instead attend the Bradford School of Art, a well-regarded institution. He received a first-class diploma with honors and was admitted for postgraduate work at both the Slade School of Fine Art and the Royal College of Art, two of the most prestigious art schools in Britain. When he received his diploma from the Royal College of Art, in 1962, he already had been represented for a year by a dealer, John Kasmin, and was known in the London art world. Counter to the usual story of an artist clawing his way to recognition, he had to resist the temptation to rest on his laurels. By the time he was 40, he was a global celebrity.That is how old he was when I first spoke with him, in 1978, in his studio in the Notting Hill district of London. I was a young magazine journalist, interviewing him about the sets he was creating for a Glyndebourne Festival production of Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. Looking back at my interview notes, I see that Hockney was already coping with the weight of his achievements. “It gets harder to paint as you go on, partly because you’ve got your own work of the past to think about,” he said then. “So, it’s both a burden and an advantage. And, of course, you always want to paint better pictures. Otherwise, you wouldn’t go on; you’d give up.”With that in mind, he had been revisiting some of his early paintings. At one point, he said, he had dismissed them as “awfully poor and inconsistent”—in short, “dreadful.” But then he saw them again at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1970 and revised his opinion. “You could see how I’d taken up some ideas and moved along with them and abandoned some and moved into other areas,” he said. “Obviously, great artists give you standards that you want to try and attempt to reach, but I’m not stupid. I can’t paint like Velázquez or Goya or Picasso. I would be mad to try. I just don’t have that kind of skill at all.”Hockney’s painting After Munch: Less Is Known Than People Think, 2023.Jonathan Wilkinson, © David Hockney.Despite his modesty, Hockney possesses draftsmanship skills that surpass those of most of his contemporaries. Plus, he has the advantage of being an artist of his time. Early on, he was able to soak up what other artists were doing—such as the shaped canvases of Frank Stella and Jasper Johns, and the color field ring abstractions of Kenneth Noland, which can be readily detected in his Royal College of Art paintings. “At one time, I believed my work had to look like modern art or it wasn’t any good,” he said in that conversation decades ago. “Then I slowly began to realize that was a silly way of looking at it. Art can’t go backwards. Even if everybody starts painting just what’s in front of them, they can’t paint the way it was done 50 years ago. It’s just not possible. Then you begin to realize, if this is an impossibility, there’s no use worrying about something you couldn’t avoid anyway.”Later, when living in Los Angeles, Hockney became obsessed with the challenge of conveying a sense of movement and the passage of time in a two-dimensional painting. In the 1980s, he started taking Polaroids to make bigger and bigger collages. He was seeking to emulate Cubism in undermining single-point perspective, which places a viewer in a static posture, facing a scene that recedes to a vanishing point. Treating photos as his building blocks, he constructed compositions that culminated in 1986 in Pearblossom Hwy., which comprises more than 700 -photographs to represent varying viewpoints that you would see from the front seat of a car while riding down a desert highway. In his paintings, too, he incorporated motion. Mulholland Drive: The Road to the Studio, from 1980, depicts a sinuous road that snakes through a scene of pointillist patchwork, in colors as bright as those of the Fauvists, juxtaposed with a section that has the bleached-out rectilinearity of a road map.Much of the work on view in Paris will reveal Hockney’s infatuation with the latest technologies. In late 2008, he began making drawings, initially of flowers, on his iPhone, a device that had been introduced only a year before. By then he had moved his primary residence from Los Angeles to a town called Bridlington, on the coast of East Yorkshire, about 80 miles from Bradford. “The reason I was good on the iPhone was that I always had quite small sketchbooks in my pocket, so with it being small, it didn’t matter to me that much,” he said. “I drew on the phone with my thumb mostly, and then I got a stylus. But the first ones, 30 or 40, were drawn with just a thumb.” He purchased an iPad in June 2010, as soon as it became available. Hockney had been stippling and crosshatching with ink on paper or acrylic paint on canvas, and the tablet allowed him a quicker, easier way to proceed. In Bridlington, he also returned to oil painting, inspired by the landscape, which he portrayed in acid greens and shocking mauves, similar to the colors on the prints made from his iPad drawings.Hockney at his reading table.Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, © David Hockney.When he made his next move, to a half-timbered 17th-century house in Normandy in 2019, with JP, who is French, he was comfortable shifting back and forth between iPad sketches, ink drawings, and paintings. In Normandy, he made a series of acrylic portraits of friends and relatives who came to visit: his brother Richard; the three adult children of the fashion designers Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell; record producer Clive Davis; and—surprisingly, because he dislikes painting portraits of people he hasn’t known for a long time—Harry Styles. Loose and relaxed, they exemplify what Hockney is aiming for at this point in his life. “My approach to portraiture has changed,” he told me. “Now I don’t really draw a preparatory sketch on the canvas. I just start painting, which is a bit riskier because wherever you put the head, the body has to fit. But I’m enjoying it, and I think most of the portraits are quite successful.”The Paris show is weighted toward his portraiture, and it pays primary attention to the paintings and drawings he produced in Bridlington and Normandy. But it will span the enormous arc of his career, beginning with the portrait he made of his father in Bradford in 1955, which was the first painting he sold. Some artists are daunted to see the scope of all they have created. It paralyzes them into uncertainty about where to make their next move. I asked Hockney, who has had so many retrospectives (including a gigantic one at Tate Britain and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, when he turned 80 in 2017), whether that possibility worried him. He said that Sir Alan Bowness, a former director of Tate, once told him that many artists couldn’t work for months after such an exhibition. Hockney dismissed that fear with characteristic nonchalance. “Well, I just go on,” he told me. “I never bother.” Puckishly, he added, “Anyway, at my age now, I couldn’t really freeze.” Source link

Early on, he was able to soak up what other artists were doing—such as the shaped canvases of Frank Stella and Jasper Johns, and the color field ring abstractions of Kenneth Noland, which can be readily detected in his Royal College of Art paintings. “At one time, I believed my work had to look like modern art or it wasn’t any good,” he said in that conversation decades ago. “Then I slowly began to realize that was a silly way of looking at it. Art can’t go backwards. Even if everybody starts painting just what’s in front of them, they can’t paint the way it was done 50 years ago. It’s just not possible. Then you begin to realize, if this is an impossibility, there’s no use worrying about something you couldn’t avoid anyway.”Later, when living in Los Angeles, Hockney became obsessed with the challenge of conveying a sense of movement and the passage of time in a two-dimensional painting. In the 1980s, he started taking Polaroids to make bigger and bigger collages. He was seeking to emulate Cubism in undermining single-point perspective, which places a viewer in a static posture, facing a scene that recedes to a vanishing point. Treating photos as his building blocks, he constructed compositions that culminated in 1986 in Pearblossom Hwy., which comprises more than 700 -photographs to represent varying viewpoints that you would see from the front seat of a car while riding down a desert highway. In his paintings, too, he incorporated motion. Mulholland Drive: The Road to the Studio, from 1980, depicts a sinuous road that snakes through a scene of pointillist patchwork, in colors as bright as those of the Fauvists, juxtaposed with a section that has the bleached-out rectilinearity of a road map.Much of the work on view in Paris will reveal Hockney’s infatuation with the latest technologies. In late 2008, he began making drawings, initially of flowers, on his iPhone, a device that had been introduced only a year before. By then he had moved his primary residence from Los Angeles to a town called Bridlington, on the coast of East Yorkshire, about 80 miles from Bradford. “The reason I was good on the iPhone was that I always had quite small sketchbooks in my pocket, so with it being small, it didn’t matter to me that much,” he said. “I drew on the phone with my thumb mostly, and then I got a stylus. But the first ones, 30 or 40, were drawn with just a thumb.” He purchased an iPad in June 2010, as soon as it became available. Hockney had been stippling and crosshatching with ink on paper or acrylic paint on canvas, and the tablet allowed him a quicker, easier way to proceed. In Bridlington, he also returned to oil painting, inspired by the landscape, which he portrayed in acid greens and shocking mauves, similar to the colors on the prints made from his iPad drawings.Hockney at his reading table.Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, © David Hockney.When he made his next move, to a half-timbered 17th-century house in Normandy in 2019, with JP, who is French, he was comfortable shifting back and forth between iPad sketches, ink drawings, and paintings. In Normandy, he made a series of acrylic portraits of friends and relatives who came to visit: his brother Richard; the three adult children of the fashion designers Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell; record producer Clive Davis; and—surprisingly, because he dislikes painting portraits of people he hasn’t known for a long time—Harry Styles. Loose and relaxed, they exemplify what Hockney is aiming for at this point in his life. “My approach to portraiture has changed,” he told me. “Now I don’t really draw a preparatory sketch on the canvas. I just start painting, which is a bit riskier because wherever you put the head, the body has to fit. But I’m enjoying it, and I think most of the portraits are quite successful.”The Paris show is weighted toward his portraiture, and it pays primary attention to the paintings and drawings he produced in Bridlington and Normandy. But it will span the enormous arc of his career, beginning with the portrait he made of his father in Bradford in 1955, which was the first painting he sold. Some artists are daunted to see the scope of all they have created. It paralyzes them into uncertainty about where to make their next move. I asked Hockney, who has had so many retrospectives (including a gigantic one at Tate Britain and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, when he turned 80 in 2017), whether that possibility worried him. He said that Sir Alan Bowness, a former director of Tate, once told him that many artists couldn’t work for months after such an exhibition. Hockney dismissed that fear with characteristic nonchalance. “Well, I just go on,” he told me. “I never bother.” Puckishly, he added, “Anyway, at my age now, I couldn’t really freeze.” Source link
