本期的封面是大卫·霍克尼的作品，标题为《我父亲的肖像》。

“This painting, shown at the Yorkshire Artists Exhibition in Leeds in 1957, is Hockney’s first sold work. It beautifully captures the deep bond between the artist and his father. Hockney’s father purchased the canvas and arranged the easel before settling into the chair he had set up for himself. He equipped the space with mirrors, allowing him to closely observe the progress of the artwork while also providing his thoughts and commentary. For instance, he would often say, “Oooh, that’s too muddy! Is that my cheek? No, no, it’s not that colour.” These playful critiques not only reflected his keen eye for detail but also fostered a creative dialogue between father and son. This must have been a truly delightful moment for them both, as they shared their artistic journey, bonding over the nuances of colour and expression while cultivating a deeper understanding of each other’s perspectives.

Hockney masterfully captures not only the physical likeness of his father but also the essence of their relationship. This piece invites viewers into the intimate world of Hockney’s. Through this portrait, Hockney celebrates the complexity of familial love and the enduring influence of his father on his artistic journey. Each brushstroke tells a story, revealing layers of emotion that resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced the multifaceted nature of family connections.

霍克尼最关心的是色调，确保色调正确。“这意味着他忽略了色彩。在艺术学校，色彩并不是绘画的主题。” 这句话暗示这是他在学校学到的，并非他个人的信仰。
