"Hockney sat at my table which was piled high with books and bags filled with books, doing his 'self-portrait', and when he handed it to me - seeing the bag and the pile of books - I asked him if he'd heard me say self-portrait? And, with a nod and a smile, he took it back and pictured himself on a book inside the canvas sack". -- Burt Britton
