David Hockney was an English artist, who started making photo collages in the early 1980s, he referred to them as ‘joiners’. It was made of different pictures of the same subject from different angles and perspectives. Place Furstenberg, Paris is one such collage of a famous romantic setting in Paris, it is circular with four ornamental Paulonia trees, the place was named after Cardinal William Egon of Furstenberg who made it the courtyard for the entrance to the abbey. David Hockney deconstructs and reconstructs the image first by arranging the polaroids in a grid and then overlaps them to create a multi perspective image. This shows a heavy influence from Cubists artists like Pablo Picasso and his work that depicted a subject from different perspectives in a way that seems like the viewer is moving around the subject. Hockney realized the same effect when he took pictures of his family room in Los Angeles and stuck them together for preliminary work, but saw that it felt like the viewer was travelling through the room. This started his collage work. Over time, his works became more refined yet time consuming.
