This is one of Hockney's most famous Joiners of an American Highway. This image is made out of thousands of photographs and is almost 2 meters high by 3 meters wide. Hockney originally came to notice for his use of hundreds of Polaroid shots of a single scene, collaged together like little snippets of memory to create an overall mural of sizable proportions. The effect is that of a glimmering mosaic featuring a desolate desert highway where cactus compete with road signs in decorating the landscape.
