David Hockney - Double Portrait

David Hockney - Double Portrait celebrates the artist’s return to London last year when he re-engaged with a subject that a full 30 years ago had inspired some of his most iconic images, like «Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy». Hockney was now using watercolour for the first time to paint 40 large double portraits, each done from life in a day, calling them portraits for the 21st century. Filmed behind-the-scenes in Hockney’s home and studio as he prepares for two exhibitions of the work, and using interviews with his family and his oldest or closest friends who came to sit for him, the documentary explores the personal and private nature of Hockney’s portraiture and creates an intimate psychological portrait of the artist as he paints the relationships in his own life.
