Hockney refers to Cubism and depicts it from multiple viewpoints, from Chinese scroll paintings and different time sequences and landscape elements.  The landscape of the canyon, shows many viewpoints and shifting time frame and shows what it’s like to be in a landscape and to travel around it. The painting captures the extravagant color as it relates to Hollywood.
