Apart from the discussion about his views on the use of mechanical aids in painting. When I gave my comment on David Hockney I had one thing in the back of my mind. Before the man and his talent gets ridiculed... He DID make the painting 'Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Percy'. (although I guess the 'Bouguereau-school of modelling faces' won't like it). Isn't it a unique painting with a grandeur reminiscent of the great eras in painting which lie far behind us?

It's sad to see people bash artists like him all too easily.
