David Hockney paints everyday life, excluding those elements that he considers unessential. In this painting he has restricted himself to various shades of blue to construct a recognisable image: Monochrome Landscape. By adding the words ‘with lettering’ on the unpainted edge, Hockney plays a conceptual game with the viewer: what is a landscape, a painting, a title? And what is a work of art?
