Of this print series, Hockney said, “Of course Cavafy’s poems are about gay love, and I was quite boldly using that subject then. I was aware that it was illegal, but I didn’t really think much about that at the time. I was living in a bohemian world, where we just did what we pleased. I wasn’t speaking for anybody else. I was defending my way of living.” The prints should not be read as literal illustrations of the poems, but rather as nostalgia for fleeting but memorable encounters.
