David Hockney, Pearblossom Highway, 1986

Hockney’s photo collages are composed of Polaroid photographs taken from different perspectives at slightly different times, arranged in patchworks to create composite images evocative of Cubism. He said of this work: “The driver and the passenger see the road in different ways. When you drive, you read all the road signs, but when you’re the passenger, you don’t — you can decide to look where you want. And the picture deals with that: on the right-hand side of the road it’s as if you’re the driver, reading traffic signs to tell you what to do and so on, and on the left-hand side it’s as if you’re a passenger, going along the road more slowly, looking all around.”
