    Untitled 1159, Life, 2012

    Untitled 1159, Life, 2012 is a 25-edition print release of an iPad drawing by David Hockney. Making reference to Edvard Munch's 'The Scream, 1893', Hockney makes a playful commentary on the philosophical attitude that death is inevtiable, but in the context that people who criticise him for smoking are making life boring. Clearly visible in this piece, the combination of humour, vivid colours, and a reverance for art history are all key aspects of Hockney's catalogue.
