Splendid and rare poster of the Metropolitan Opera in New York by David Hockney produced in 1981
Hockney is one of the modern artists who has challenged traditional ways of looking at things and came up with many startling, innovative images.
As can be seen in this poster for a presentation at the New York Met, his palette has a Matisse-like predilection for bright, vivid colors.
A man of estimable talent, British-born Hockney maintains careers as a painter, draftsman, printmaker, photographer and designer. Hockney achieved international success during his mid-twenties after a brilliant prize-winning career as a student at the Royal College of Art.
His phenomenal success has been based not only on the flair, wit, and versatility of his work, but also on his colorful personality, which has made him a recognizable figure even to people not particularly interested in art.
