Description: Pool Made With Paper and Blue Ink For Book (1980) is an iconic work by David Hockney, part of his celebrated Paper Pools series. This vibrant yet minimalist color lithograph captures one of Hockney’s most emblematic subjects: the California swimming pool, symbolizing sunlight, water, and the Los Angeles lifestyle.

The composition layers blues, greens, and oranges with a textured, gestural approach, evoking ripples and shifting reflections on the water’s surface. Hockney plays with perspective and flatness, creating an image that is both graphic and sensory.

Hand-signed by the artist, this limited edition print is highly sought after by collectors for its artistic and historical significance, representing a quintessential example of Hockney’s 1980s style.

That same intimate, expressive draughtsmanship extends into Ann in the Studio (1984), a tender etching capturing a close friend in a moment of quiet exchange. A more panoramic, formative counterpart appears in Tree, a 1968 colour lithograph from the pivotal year Hockney relocated to Los Angeles — both available now at Lynart Gallery.
