David Hockney (b. 1937) – Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy (1968). In a private collection. Shown at the temporary exhibition “David Hockney 25” at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, April-August 2025.
The curators commented: “This painting of the writer Christopher Isherwood and his companion the painter Don Bachardy is one of the most representative of David Hockney’s double portraits. Depicted frontally, its quasi-stillness broken only by the movement of Isherwood’s head, for the young Hockney they symbolise the freedom of Californian society, where a male couple of different ages could be seen in a relationship that today would be described as “open”.”
