β€œLawn Sprinkler,” part of David Hockney's exploration of everyday life in California, vividly captures the rhythmic choreography of sprinklers on a verdant lawn. With its minimalist house and perfectly manicured grass, the painting reflects the blend of nature and suburban modernity characteristic of Hockney's 1960s work.
