Writing in 2017, his great friend David Hockney wrote of his respect and admiration for Kitaj.

‘Ron was a great influence on me, far more than any other factor’.

Kitaj was admired for his seriousness, which distinguished him from an early age. Combined with the visual and intellectual clarity of his work, it is that seriousness which assures Kitaj of his place in art history.
