Reminds me of Crockett and looks like it could be a scene from Miami Vice!  The painting is from 1972 though!  Gonna fetch around $80m!!!

Hockney’s major work of the early ’70s, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) (1972) – a painting set in a landscape of southern France, near Saint-Tropez, with a male figure in white trunks submerged under the water, swimming breaststroke, and the painter Peter Schlesinger, Hockney’s former partner, fully dressed and standing at the edge of the pool looking down.

the painting is amazing. but 80M. things have completely gone mad nowadays. for me there's clearly a kind of insanity in these things. with so much poverty around the world. makes me think of the pink legacy too. should be sold these days at 40M. for a piece of stone. or the white italian truffle sold 85 000E this week. the thing weights less than 1 kg, and will give what 3 min of pleasure. all these things are going insane. then people wonder how people revolt, and vote for Hitler
