 David Hockney
(1973 - 74)  

Although the two men never met in real life, Picasso’s late work exerted a profound influence on Hockney during his formative years. Artist and Model presents one of the most defining but symbolic imaginary moments of 20th century art. 
Following Pablo Picasso’s death in 1973, David Hockney paid homage to the Spanish artist with an etching of an imaginary meeting between Picasso and the younger Hockney as his model and student.
