Eyewitness Royal Academy, London

A bigger splash

David Hockney, left,

stands before his painting Bigger Trees near Warter,

part of the Royal Academy summer exhibition.

Measuring 15ft high by 40ft wide (4.5 metres by 12 metres) ,

it is the largest painting Hockney has ever made,

and the largest ever shown at the exhibition.

It was painted outdoors on 50 separate canvases

with the aid of digital photography and a computer

so the artist could see the whole work as it progressed

Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy, 1968

This was a landmark moment in queer art,

painted when homosexuality was illegal in California.

Novelist and playwright Christopher Isherwood sits on the right,

with the painter Don Bachardy on the left,

in the living room of the couple’s house in Santa Monica.

Hockney took lots of photographs of the couple in preparation.

Every time he said ‘Relax’,

Isherwood would put his leg over his knee and look at Bachardy,

who never returned the gaze, staying facing forward.

Hockney said:

‘So I thought, “That’s the pose it should be.”

And I began the picture.’
