6. A Happy Accident Hockney'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.

8. Pearblossom Highway Some of Hockneys 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.
