“Although Hockney travelled widely during the early seventies... his devotion to drawing was such that he returned to his London studio with sketchbooks filled with drawings.” Ulrich Luckhardt: 'Still Life 1970-73', in: Ulrich Luckhard and Paul Melia, Eds., David Hockney: A Drawing Retrospective, London 1995, p. 130.
