David Hockney has been making self portraits since he studied at Bradford College of Art. This self portrait is of David when he was 17 years old. He uses all different medias, including oil on plywood, poster paint on paper/newspaper, collage on newspaper, and oil on canvas for his self portraits. I chose this piece of work because I really like the colours, because they are bright and vibrant and I like the texture created by the torn up paper, and collage. I also like the contrast of the bright colours, on the background of plain black and white newspaper.
