Summary:
"An intimate and innovative film about English-born painter of Southern California, artist David Hockney, during the multi-year creation of one of his towering achievments, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures). Director Jack Hazan creates an improvisatory narrative-nonfiction hybrid featuring Hockney, as well as his circle of friends, capturing the agonized end of the lingering affair between Hockney and his muse, Peter Schlesinger. At once a time capsule of hedonistic queer life in the 1970s, an honest-yet-tender depiction of gay male romance that dispenses with the then-current narratives of self-hatred and self-pity, an invaluable view of art history in action, and a record of artistic creation that is itself a work of art."--Container
