Lithograph printed on Buff Arches mould-made cover paper. Signed and dated 76 lower left in pencil; numbered 46/75 lower right.
One of a series entitled “Friends”, this portrait of the artist Mo McDermott features the artist sitting on a chair in profile. McDermott was a close friend of Hockney, and is known for his whimsical wood cut-out sculptures of plants and animals. Here the subject appears wistful as he gazes forward and slightly down. While the rest of his body is loosely defined with few lines, McDermott’s hands and face are carefully drawn.
Copies of this print are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., and Minneapolis Museum of Art, Minneapolis
