"Caribbean Tea Time" Folding Screen

Hockney's folding screen shows the influence of both his stage designs and his photographic collages executed during the 1980s. The use of triangular and square shapes to define different spatial areas is comparable to the spatial explorations of his set designs for Parade, Le Marmelles de Tiresias, and L'Enfant et les Sortileges, a trilogy that premiered at the Metropolitan Opera in 1981. Dislocations within what would be a continuous area approximate Cubist-like infractions because the artist has overlapped clustered views and multiple prints of the same photographic frame.
