  • Comment: Little has changed since the last declining. Incidentally, here's an oddity: His work has also been contextualized in reference to David Hockney and Slim Aarons. This seemed a curiously obscure way of saying that it had been compared to that by Hockney and Aarons. But if so, then compared how? I decided to look it up. Here's the source: Whether David Hockney’s sun-drenched Californian ‘A Bigger Splash’ (1967), Gatsby’s ornate marble pool in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby or Slim Aarons capturing a golden age of wealth and privilege over the course of his career, the pool has long been synonymous with extravagance and glamour. So it boils down to An article about his work also mentions that by David Hockney and Slim Aarons -- which I don't think is worth saying. Hoary (talk) 12:29, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
