Peter Getting Out of Nick's Pool is a 1966 acrylic-on-canvas painting by the British pop art artist David Hockney.

Hockney moved from England to California in 1964, drawn by its sleek modernist aesthetic and warm Mediterranean climate.

Hockney, in his characteristic style, simplifies and flattens the image, and the rippling surface of the water is abstracted into wavy white lines on blue, similar to a comic or an advertisement.

The figure in the painting is based on a polaroid photograph Hockney took of Schlesinger standing up against the hood of his own MG car.

The painting was acquired as a bequest from Sir John Moores who in 1957, established the eponymous biannual award and subsequently often purchased the winning entry and then presented the work to the museum.
