"Atlantic Crossing", David Hockney, 1965, oil on canvas
Water and sports are recurring objects in Hockney's works. The composition of Atlantic Crossing looks pretty like a stage setting, which is obviously reflected by the dark clouds and huge waves. The painter practiced this kind of technique since 1963.
Hockney puts what he feels is interesting in daily life directly into his works without any subjective elements.[Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
