'It is an interesting formal problem; it is a formal problem to represent water, to describe water, because it can be anything. It can be any colour and it has no set visual description' —David Hockney
Instantly recognisable, David Hockney’s swimming pools are widely identified as the artist’s most famous motif. Embodying his fascination with post-war America, Hockney’s swimming pools serve as a metaphorical springboard into an extended investigation that spanned decades of his career: the formal challenge of representing water.
The concern of depicting water has occupied artists throughout history. Lithographic Water Made of Lines along with Pool Made with Paper Blue Ink for Book, from Paper Pools mark two stages in Hockney’s experimentations regarding the matter. Lithographic Water Made of Lines is one of eleven editions of lithographic prints that Hockney created of the same scene between 1978 and 1980. Using a single aluminium plate, Hockney demonstrates the diversity of line, creating depth, shadow, and variations in tone to produce the transparent effect of water. While other editions in this series use various washes to capture the everchanging light conditions, this example focuses solely on depicting the water’s characteristics. The graphic marks utilised in Lithographic Water Made of Lines continued to inform Hockney’s approach to depicting water and are again visible in Pool Made with Paper Blue Ink for Book, from Paper Pools. The dynamic blue gestures evoke the water’s constant movement and are reminiscent of the bold arcs that Hockney had painted on the bottom of his own backyard pool by 1978.

Image: © Michael Childers/Corbis via Getty Images Swimming pools became a staple of Hockney’s oeuvre early on in his career. Flying into Los Angeles for the first time in 1963, Hockney looked out of the aeroplane window and was immediately captivated by the striking blues of the countless swimming pools scattered throughout the city below. Following a move to this ‘promised land’ in 1964, Hockney visually defined Los Angeles through his celebrated pool paintings, including A Bigger Splash (1967) which currently resides in Tate Britain’s permanent collection.
'I believe that the problem of how to depict something is… an interesting one and it’s a permanent one; there is no solution to it. There are a thousand and one ways you can go about it. There is no set rule' —David Hockney文學
