David Hockney ( B. 1937 ) is an English painter, draftsman, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. He is an important contributor to The Pop Art Movement of the 1960's. He is considered one of the most influential British artists of The 20th Century. His artworks have commanded greater popular acclaim than any other Contemporary British artist. The Pop Art Expressionist style artworks have been the subject of more than 400 solo exhibitions. Art works by Hockney are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.

The lithograph print poster was created in 1981 for an exhibition of Hockney's work as a stage and costume designer for numerous theatrical performances, held at The Galerie Claude Bernard, in that same year.

His designs for the 1981 showing of French opera by composer Francis Poulnec's " Les Mamelles De Tiresias ", based on the play by French Surrealist, Guillaume Apollinare, depicted in this poster, earned Hockney great praise from press and critics for his dazzling scenic art and witty costume design.
