Hockney also taught intermittently in the following years and it was through this that he met his first great love, fellow artist Peter Schlesinger, in 1966. The relationship was to prove a major inspiration to the artist, with Hockney depicting his lover in countless images. Arguably the most well-known of these is Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) (1971); this painting demonstrates well the increasingly naturalistic style of Hockney's work in the late 1960s and early 1970s, as well as his preoccupation with with the human figure. This painting was in fact completed after the breakdown of the relationship, an event that left Hockney depressed and devastated.[1]
