David Hockney’s portraits often chronicle his life and close friends. This elegant drawing depicts the artist Peter Schlesinger (American, b. 1948), Hockney’s lover
at the time, while the two were on summer holiday. Hockney was Schlesinger’s drawing teacher at the University of California, Los Angeles, when they met in
1966; their relationship lasted about five years, during which Schlesinger was a frequent model. Hockney’s painting of Los Angeles can be seen in the 20th-century
installation just outside this gallery.
