  • "Most people don't look at a face too long; they tend to look away. But you do if you are painting a portrait"

     

    - David Hockney

    This portrait of Matelot Kevin Druez captures the subject dressed in a classic French sailor's uniform. The navy blue attire with white stripes and a sailor's hat bearing the words "Marine Nationale" lends a traditional maritime feel to the image. Hockney's characteristic bright colors and bold lines emphasize the vivid blue and red tones against a patterned green and yellow backdrop. The casual posture of the sailor, with his cigarette held loosely in one hand, contrasts with the formal uniform, offering a relaxed yet dignified atmosphere to the portrait.
