Peter
David Hockney
Peter Schlesinger was an 18-year-old student at UCLA when he met David Hockney, who was teaching a summer class at the university. They began a long affair with Schlesinger travelling with Hockney between LA and London, where he enrolled at the Slade School of Art. Whilst with Hockney, he often modelled for the artist and appears in some of his greatest early works, including Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures), Peter Schlesinger with Polaroid Camera and Peter Getting Out of Nick's Pool.
Schlesinger went on to pursue his own career as a visual artist, creating sculptures, paintings, and photographs.
