David Hockney
(1966

”I had become interested in the more general problem of painting the water, finding a way to do it. T is an interesting formal problem, really, apart from its subject matter; it is a formal problem to represent water, to describe water, because it can be anything—it can be any colour, it’s movable, it has no set visual description; I just used my drawings for these paintings and my head invented.”
