These portraits highlight the enduring importance of portraiture in Hockney's work, emphasizing his preference for drawings and paintings over photographs. Returning to painting after focusing on digital mediums, Hockney executed these portraits swiftly and directly onto canvas, stating that "to do a portrait slowly is a bit of a contradiction."
