A Bigger Splash

"A Bigger Splash" is a 1967 artwork by photographer David Hockney, depicting a swimming pool scene with vivid colors and sharp details. The image captures a moment frozen in time—water, poolside furniture, and a figure (often a singer or musician) evoke a sense of leisure and style. The composition emphasizes flat, bright surfaces and bold shapes, highlighting themes of modernity and pop culture. Hockney’s work is celebrated for its innovative use of color and perspective, blending photography and painting influences to create a striking, contemporary image that explores the ways personal identity and environment intersect.
