A Bigger Splash

Image source · Wikipedia

A Bigger Splash is a large pop art painting by British artist David Hockney. Measuring 242.5 centimetres (95.5 in) by 243.9 centimetres (96.0 in), it depicts a swimming pool beside a modern house, disturbed by a large splash of water created by an unseen figure who has apparently just jumped in from a diving board. It was painted in California between April and June 1967, when Hockney was teaching at the University of California, Berkeley. Jack Hazan's fictionalised 1973 biopic, A Bigger Splash, concentrating on the break-up of Hockney's relationship with Peter Schlesinger, was named after the painting. Luca Guadagnino's 2015 film A Bigger Splash (a loose remake of La Piscine) was also named after the painting.
