At first, I wasn’t sure I liked it much, but I sat with it, studied it, thought about it and came to the conclusion that, yes, I did like it.

I visited it many times until I grew to love it.

I love the flat, simplified look of it.

I love that it looks like a painted polaroid.

I love that it’s a moment suspended in time and Peter is forever on the cusp of getting out of Nick’s pool.

David Hockney is an artist whose work crept up on me and got under my skin without me even realising it had happened and I feel like the art world has lost something significant with his passing.

And do you know what makes me incandescent with rage? I tried to add an image of the painting to this post and fucking Tumblr censored it as mature content.

They censored art.
