    Self Portrait IV, 25 March, 2012 is a self portrait of David Hockney created using his iPad. Done in Hockney's signature playful style, his expression lends itself to his representation of not taking himself overly seriously and enjoying himself. Incorporating his iconic glasses and love of striped clothing, the vivid colours that particularly creates contrast between himself and the blue background creates a bright and recognisable image.
