Painted in 1967, A Bigger Splash is perhaps David Hockney's best-known work. In his swimming pool paintings, Hockney captures a moment. This water effect in A Bigger Splash would only last a few seconds. Hockney said he liked the idea of taking two weeks to paint something that only lasted a very short time. What makes this painting so iconic and attractive – and still very modern fifty years after its creation?
