Moved to Los Angeles, the artist turned to Freeman with a request to allow him to work in the back yard of her home by the pool for the series, which were subsequently identified as the most famous stage artist, - «California dream». Shortly after beginning work Hockney decided to concentrate on the image itself Freeman, realizing that she, like many other residents of Los Angeles, where he had met, was an integral part of the space in which it dwells, just as space is an integral part of its own.
