Focus on A Bigger Splash and discuss the abstract.
A Bigger Splash is a large pop art painting by British artist David Hockney.  Measuring 242.5 centimetres (95.5 in) by 243.9 centimetres (96.0 in), it depicts a swimming pool beside a modern house, disturbed by a large splash of water created by an unseen figure who has apparently just jumped in from a diving board.  It was painted in California between April and June 1967, when Hockney was teaching at the University of California, Berkeley. Jack Hazan's fictionalised 1973 biopic, A Bigger Splash, concentrating on the breakup of Hockney's relationship with Peter Schlesinger, was named after the painting.
Luca Guadagnino's 2015 film A Bigger Splash (a loose remake of La Piscine) was also named after the painting.
