A Bigger Splash
''A Bigger Splash'' is a large pop art painting by British artist David Hockney. Measuring by , 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.

A Bigger Splash (1973 Film)
''A Bigger Splash'' is a 1973 British biographical documentary film about David Hockney's lingering breakup with his then-partner Peter Schlesinger, from 1970 to 1973. Directed by Jack Hazan and edited by David Mingay, it has music by Patrick Gowers. Featuring many of Hockney's circle, it includes designers Celia Birtwell and Ossie Clark, artist Patrick Procktor, gallery owner John Kasmin and museum curator Henry Geldzahler. Analysis It is a fly-on-the-wall documentary, intercut with fictionalised and fantasy elements. It is notable for its treatment of gay themes and its insights into Hockney's life and work. The film takes its title from the 1967 painting ''A Bigger Splash'', perhaps Hockney's best-known Californian swimming pool picture and his best-known artwork at all. Hockney was initially shocked by its intimacy but later changed his mind.
