'David Hockney: Drawing from Life' is a Staff Pick for Pride Month 2021

Titled "Gregory, Los Angeles, March 31st 1982," this evocative composite Polaroid from David Hockney: Drawing from Life captures Gregory Evans, Hockney's intimate friend and consistent model for more than fifty years—as well as his assistant, studio manager, and now, curator and adviser. "I’ve drawn a lot of Gregory," Hockey is quoted. "I think the way I draw, the more I know and react to people, the more interesting the drawings will be," Hockney says elsewhere in the book. "I don’t really like struggling for a likeness. It seems a bit of a waste of effort… If you don’t know the person, you don’t really know if you’ve got a likeness at all."
