Further details
Celia Birtwell (born 1941) is a British textile designer. She studied fabric design at Salford and met Hockney in 1961 through his friend Mo McDermott and the fashion designer Ossie Clark, whom she married in 1969. His favorite female sitter, Hockney has portrayed Celia many times throughout their long and enduring friendship. Although these portraits reflect Hockney's many stylistic changes and technical variations over the years, they consistently capture Birtwell's gentle femininity as well as a hidden steeliness.
