Maurice Payne began his career as a printer in the early 1960s, working at two highly reputable London-based workshops: Editions Alecto Ltd. and Petersburg Press. Famed for his expertise in carborundum and intaglio techniques, Payne has worked with artists such as Howard Hodgkin, Jasper Johns, and Jim Dine, but some of the most important projects of his career were his collaborations with David Hockney. Payne first assisted Hockney in 1966, on his portfolio of thirteen etchings titled Illustrations for Fourteen Poems from C.P. Cavafy. Following this project, Payne assisted Hockney with printing The Blue Guitar (1976-77) before temporarily becoming Hockney’s assistant and relocating to California with him in 1977. The artist and printer remain close friends, and Hockney has produced numerous portraits of Payne over the years - including the below computer drawing created in 2008.
