(after) David Hockney Portrait Prints

There are several interesting facts about David Hockney. For one, the British artist refused to write an essay for his final exam at the Royal College of Art and instead submitted a sketch of his diploma, prompting the school to change the rules in order to allow him to graduate. He also has synesthesia, which allows him to see colors when he listens to music. In 1990, he turned down the opportunity to be knighted by the Queen of England. Another fact is that Hockney has always been fascinated by the use of technology in art. He is credited with inventing the technique of joining Polaroid photos in a collage to form a panoramic picture, and he has recently been using the Brush app to paint on an iPad.

David Bailey is famous for his work as a photographer. At 15, the London-born David Bailey was jazz-mad and Picasso-loving but, being a dyslexic cockney, was booted out of school. Escape from gritty East London seemed unlikely until he picked up a Rolleiflex during his stint in the National Service. Three years later, in 1960, he was under contract at British Vogue.

Prodigiously talented, Bailey was also wildly charismatic and uncommonly pretty, a high-octane amalgam that no doubt fueled his meteoric rise. Soon, he was chronicling and surfing the cultural tsunami that transformed London in the Swinging Sixties, when young creatives from music, fashion, advertising, theater, film, TV and journalism toppled the British establishment to become the new royalty. This was the moment when the seeds of celebrity culture were sown.

Bailey snapped all these revolutionary artists: John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Michael Caine, Tom Stoppard and David Hockney. Each and every one looks impossibly dewy and fresh and brims with an entirely modern derring-do. So, too, do “the beautiful birds,” as Bailey called the alluring models and actresses who defined that decade: the exquisite Jean “Shrimp” Shrimpton, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau and Catherine Deneuve.

To tell if David Yurman is authentic, first look for the luxury jeweler’s maker’s mark. Authentic pieces will feature a D.Y., D. Yurman or David Yurman stamp. This stamp should be accompanied by a copyright symbol and indicators of metal content, which will denote the presence of sterling silver or gold purity. The maker’s mark should be crisp and clear, with numbers and letters evenly spaced.

Also, carefully examine the jewelry up close. The David Yurman brand is an internationally renowned fine jewelry empire — if you see cracks or flaws in the gemstones (which are always genuine precious or semi-precious gemstones), glue or soldering marks or other imperfections, the piece is unlikely to be genuine. If you need assistance authenticating a particular accessory, seek the help of a certified jewelry appraiser.
