'The perspective is terrific. It’s a very personal view. You couldn’t take a photograph like this. I’ve always loved this painting. Whenever my father came to London, he always wanted to see Van Gogh’s Chair. He thought it was marvellous' —David Hockney on Van Gogh’s Chair of 1888David Hockney’s 1998 etching Van Gogh Chair (White) pays direct homage to Vincent Van Gogh’s 1888 oil painting of the same subject, which is prominently displayed in The National Gallery in London. Enthralled by Van Gogh’s approach to perspective, Hockney’s print recognises that nothing in reality is ever viewed solely from one fixed point. Instead, we experience objects by moving around them and seeing them from different angles. Van Gogh Chair (White) exemplifies Hockney’s escalating rejection of traditional Western perspective, in favour of ‘reverse perspective’. Rather than traditionally building objects from a fixed-point perspective, wherein the points closest to the viewer appear larger and are scaled smaller on diagonal lines away from the front of the picture, Hockney instead inverts this norm and amalgamates multiples viewpoints into one shape. Playing with the idea of perception, this apparent abstraction of a chair more accurately reflects our lived experience of looking at an object.

Van Gogh’s painting was conceived as part of a pairing with Gauguin’s Chair, another canvas produced by the Dutch painter in 1888. Van Gogh’s Chair and Gauguin’s Chair serve as a self-portrait and portrait respectively - a commemoration of Van Gogh’s friendship with the French painter Paul Gauguin - and were designed by the artist to be hung together, with the chairs facing each other. Discussing Van Gogh’s Chair, Hockney recognised that the painting was imbued with the Dutch painter’s presence. Correspondingly, the chair in Hockney’s print also serves as a surrogate for Van Gogh, and instead of depicting the artist’s likeness in line with a traditional portrait, Hockney pays homage to the venerated Dutch master by taking visual inspiration from one of his most well-known paintings.
