Crommelynck Hockney befriends Picasso's Master printmaker, Aldo Crommelynck at his studio, Atelier Crommelynck."It was thrilling to meet someone who had such direct contact with Picasso and worked with him such a lot. Aldo Crommelynck taught me marvelous technical things about etching." — David Hockney
Hockney creates The Student: Homage to Picasso (1973) with Crommelynck, in the spirit of Picasso's renowned Vollard Suite (1930−37) commissioned by the publisher Propyläen-Verlag (Berlin), to honour Picasso as part of a commemorative portfolio Homage to Picasso (Hommage à Picasso) In the process, Crommelynck teaches his signature technique to Hockney, the Sugar lift aquatint, which enables brush marks to be recreated on the etched plate, a technique Crommelynck had previously kept secret to use exclusively and extensively with Picasso for the two decades prior.
