David Hockney, Vogue Paris 1985

Speaking of David Hockney, in Paris, here are a few of the 40 pages of fantastic photo collages, paintings, drawings, and writing he contributed to French Vogue for the Dec 1985-Jan 86 issue. I bought this on the newsstand when I was going to college in Paris. I've always loved the desk photo, mostly because of the Pistilli Roman book and the Lubalin Graph Dog Biscuits, but looking at it now I think what a cool project that would be to make a desk like that, that looks like a Google street-view of a desk, as taken by a Corgi toy. It looks like it's taped to the wall with its own cubist, fragmented sides. (Mr. Hockney, let's make some furniture!)

Also, check out our friend J.B. Taylor's post "When David Met Celia", which was the catalyst for these Hockney posts.
... and that's Hockney's cubist portrait of Celia Birtwell on the cover.
