David Hockney (English, lives and works in
USA, 1937-), Portrait
of the Artist's Mother, c. 1985?, photocollage. This
is called a photocollage rather than a photomontage,
because it is more three-dimensional
than a montage tends to be. Hockney reflected extensively on
his process of collaging prints taken with a 35 mm camera as connecting to the Cubist sense of multiple
angles and especially
of movement.
These "multiples" (as he called them) convey a strong
sense of movement, Hockney argued, in that the viewer must keep
readjusting his imagined viewpoint as his gaze travels from print
to print. And of course by this means the viewer builds up a
single image that is many times wider in angle of view than the
camera lens. (The viewing
angle of a standard 55mm lens for a 35mm format camera is about
45 degrees. Wide angle lenses increase the angle of view to about
75 degrees without obvious distortion, but the human angle of
view, with eye movement, is about 180 degrees.) This portrait
of Hockney's mother illustrates the technique
at close range. See collage.
