David Hockney is an important figure in pop art and has collaborated on many theater productions. His poster commemorating the Metropolitan Opera's trilogy of short French works, Francis Poulenc's Les Mamelles de Tirésias, Maurice Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortileges, and Erik Satie's ballet Parade, was influenced by a Picasso exhibition he saw in Minneapolis. Hockney's designs for these three productions were also inspired by Picasso.
