"Mother" by David Hockney.
I've always liked portraits, because of the fact that people's expressions are always changing, and how they reveal something deep within them.
I think it's daring to do a photo montage on people. And challenging in a way, to bring out the essence of the person's emotion without distorting the face so much that it becomes ugly or distasteful.
I think David Hockney managed to do this pretty well. Despite having the face cut up into many parts, the face remained pleasant looking, probably due to the heavy emphasis on the smiling mouths.
This piece of art is surreal in the fact that it is a photo montage, and the different pieces are pieced together not in a seamless and coherent fashion. Also, Hockney included side views of the subject in the portrayal of a front view. That adds a surrealistic feel to the art too.
