In August 1978, David Hockney arrived in Bedford, upstate New York, to visit his close friend Ken Tyler. After many prolific years, Hockney’s painting production had ground to a halt and he had not produced a new canvas in several months. Tyler, a master printmaker and the owner of Tyler Graphics Ltd., encouraged Hockney to experiment with an unconventional technique he had recently developed. This resulted in an incredibly fruitful period of artistic production which reinvigorated Hockney.
Engaging with Tyler’s new method of using dyed paper pulp, Hockney created his Paper Pools series: unique works which resulted in a cross between painting, printmaking and paper making. Pleased with the results, Hockney published a book on his Paper Pools with Thames & Hudson in 1980. To accompany the book, Hockney produced a vibrant lithograph of a swimming pool, Pool Made with Paper and Blue Ink for Book, from Paper Pools (1980). Simultaneously, Hockney also worked on a series of eleven editions of lithographic prints of a swimming pool between 1978 and 1980. Lithographic Water Made of Lines is one of the earlier prints from this series and, like Pool Made with Paper and Blue Ink for Book, from Paper Pools, it was inspired by Ken Tyler’s backyard swimming pool. Printed by Tyler Graphics Ltd., these lithographs attest to the importance of Hockney’s collaborative relationship with Ken Tyler and simultaneously highlight the artist’s fascination with the formal challenge of depicting water.

'Ken [Tyler] had a swimming pool in the garden… I kept looking at the swimming pool… it is a wonderful subject – water, the light on the water… every time you see it, it takes on a different character. You look at the surface, you look below it, you look through it, every day it looks different' —David HockneyIn both lithographs, the stillness of the solid, protruding diving board contrasts with the heavily marked surface of the pool below. Dynamic blue gestures evoke the constant movement of the water and are reminiscent of the bold arcs that Hockney had painted on the bottom of his own backyard pool by 1978. To produce Lithographic Water Made of Lines, Hockney used a single aluminium plate. Demonstrating the diversity of line, Hockney creates depth, shadow, variations in tone and produces the transparent effect of water. The importance of these graphic marks is emphasised by their presence in Pool Made with Paper and Blue Ink for Book, from Paper Pools. However, Hockney here experiments with the layering of colours to increase depth. The vivid orange and green also create a hedonistic environment which harks back to his early paintings of the swimming pools of Los Angeles.

Image: © Michael Childers/Corbis via Getty Images Swimming pools had been a staple of Hockney’s oeuvre since the early days of his career. Iconic paintings such as A Bigger Splash (1967) were fundamental in bringing the artist to prominence. At a time when paintings do not appear to have been coming as easily, Hockney returned to his trusted and celebrated motif, but reinvented this imagery through printmaking and his experimentations using paper pulp.
