David Hockney
(1967)
 

His seminal work, “A Lawn Being Sprinkled,” is a defining piece in his series of California Dreaming paintings. Created in 1967, this acrylic on canvas painting measures 60 x 60 inches and depicts an everyday scene in Los Angeles.
Hockney’s signature style lends itself perfectly to the subject matter, which includes an abstraction of Californian lifestyle through a perfectly tended lawn with a sprinkler creating v-shaped mists of water. The clear blue sky in the background gives the painting a serene feel while adding depth to the composition.
