David Hockney, one of the founding fathers of Pop-Art and also one of the most important contemporary artists, has been dealing with the question of realistic depictions since the 1960s. As of the early 1970s, the artist spends a lot of time in his London studio creating depictions of plants and fruits with a great love for the detail . Object and drawing form a unit in these works that are delicate and powerful at the same time, thus unfolding their graphic effect, which does entirely without spatial depths. [NB]
