Note: Peter Schlesinger was an artist and an artist's model, most notably as a muse of painter David Hockney. Schlesinger appears standing beside the pool in Hockney's Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures). The painting recently broke the record for the most expensive painting sold at auction by a living artist.
