Saw this in a gallery window in Hampstead*. It’s by David Hockney: a portrait of the artist approaching a giant head of Picasso.
It demonstrates a debt, while asserting its own originality.
Makes me wonder whose giant head on a plinth I would draw, if I were as talented as Hockney.
Obviously, this isn’t all about art. Could also approach the plinth in writing, or by speaking.
Who would you draw, or write about?
*At Gilden’s Art Gallery on Heath Street.
