A Picture of Ourselves 1976 - 1977

"A Picture of Ourselves" (1976-1977) is a lithograph by David Hockney, known for his bold use of color and exploration of perception in his work. The print depicts a figure in a nude pose, reflected in a framed mirror revealing a distorted, green, almost cartoonish image of the same figure. The print, drawn with a grid-like pattern, utilizes Hockney's signature style of capturing a single moment in time, but in an artistic manner, creating a sense of depth and perspective that challenges the viewer's perception. This artwork is an excellent example of Hockney’s exploration of visual illusion and the inherent ambiguity of representation.
