Double portraits of friends, lovers and relatives
From 1968, and for the next few years, Hockney paints portraits and double portraits of friends, lovers and relatives just under life-size, in a realistic style that adroitly captures the likenesses. He returns to the portrait throughout his career, creating over 300 self-portraits.
