Synopsis |
| This imaginative
reconstruction of David Hockney's
art and love life is stunningly
filmed by photographer Jack Hazan in
the moods, colors, and tones of
Hockney's paintings. A leader in Pop
Art and the best-known British
artist of his generation, Hockney
achieved international success by
the time he was in his mid-twenties
and has since earned a reputation as
a superior designer adn
photographer. A Bigger Splash, which
draws its title from one of
Hockney's trademark paintings of a
California swimming pool, follows
the artist's break-up with fellow
painter Peter Schlesinger. The
former lovers star as themselves, as
do many of the subjects of Hockney's
paintings. Offering a swirling view
of the 1970s London art scene--its
art dealers, fashion trends, and gay
bars -this semi-fictitious
documentary captures the essence of
the artist and the era. |
