“I never thought the swimming pool pictures were at all about mere hedonist pleasure. They were about the surface of the water, the very thin film, the shimmering two-dimensionality…it’s that surface that fascinates me.” – David Hockney (David Hockney quoted in: Lawrence Wechsler, "A Visit with David and Stanley Hollywood Hills 1987", David Hockney: A Retrospective, Exh. Cat., Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1988, p. 81)
