A Happy AccidentHockney's creation of photo collage occurred accidentally. He was working on a painting of a living room in Los Angeles.He took Polaroid shots of the living room and glued them together, not intending for them to be a composition on their own. He stopped painting for a period of time to pursue this new style of photography.

“Pearblossom Highway”Some of Hockney’s collages are landscapes such as Pearblossom Highway. The picture is about driving. On the right-hand side of the road it's as if you're the driver, reading traffic signs to tell you what to do and so on, and on the left-hand side it's as if you're a passenger going along the road more slowly, looking all around-- even at the littered cans and bottles . When you drive you read all the road signs, but when you're the passenger, you don't, you can decide to look where you want.
