Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy

This is my favourite painting (I know, I know, how original - a Hockney!) I have never seen it in the flesh, I just know how much I love it. Acrylic on canvas. Tate Gallery collection. I just never seem to get to the UK (must rectify). It screams the 70s to me, from the depth of the shag pile carpet to Celia's "house-dress" to the stylised look of the room - phone on the floor, I love it. Not to mention their "utterly modern marriage", which somehow you can sense. Celia Birtwell and Ossie Clark would have to be on the list of 10 couples to have had at a dinner party... round that out with David Hockney and I imagine you'd have had quite an evening on your hands.

Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy (1970-1971), David Hockney
