In this way the work appears almost fauvist in style, recalling the work of Matisse, particularly in the splash of water in the right hand side and the black outlines of trees or plants that act as a background. Hockney moved to LA in 1964, in search of the sharp light and shadows he had seen in Hollywood movies as a student. Comparing the move to ‘Van Gogh going to Arles’, he sought to escape what he saw as the greyness of post-war England, and in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfternoon Swimming\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e it appears he succeeded.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur ready-to-hang premium wooden frames, crafted from responsibly sourced oak or ash, feature unique wood grains for added character.
