2. • This image is one of Hockney's well known compositions. This
photograph is an image of his mother that has been created by
taking shots at different view points. The photograph is made up
of several smaller images to create a face or an object. The
style of this type of photography is called joiners. Hockney was
greatly influenced by a famous iconic artist called Pablo Picasso.
Picasso created the style of cubism which is a form of art that
would paint different sections of a person or object that would
eventually build up into a clear image. On The right is an example
of Picasso art which is clear that Hockney found inspiration in it
and was influenced by what he created.
3. • Here are two similar images in the style of joiners. The one on the Right is
Hockneys work and on the left is a person that was inspired by what he
created. You can see in the image by hockney that the image is made up by
different view points of this person that creates the ‘illusion’ that there are
other people too. The image on the left has also used Hockney’s style of
photography, and shows that his work has influenced others. The focus is
clear of the two young girls and the use of joinery emphasises the quality of
the image and makes it a more interesting photograph.
4. More of His Joinery..
• This image is very interesting in the way that hockney has put it together. Its
intriguing because he hasn’t put all the different sections together like some of his
previous work. The photograph being simplistic in my opinion makes it even more
appealing because there is a clear focal point and nothing to distract the eye. I think
the decision not to connect all the images was a interesting approach and works
because it’s a different style on Joiners.
