In the sketchbooks of British artist David Hockney, we find simple, expressive sketches of the everyday views from Hockney’s immediate surroundings. Even on a voyage to Iceland, we find not only views of the landscape, but also little snippets of items around the house, such as a full ashtray, or shoes on the floor. These “mundane” subjects bring an immediacy and intimacy with the artist that is quite striking, like we're right there in the same room with Hockney, sharing his experiences.
