David Hockney





David Hockney was born in 1937 in Yorkshire, England and attended the Royal College of Art in London. David Hockney's early works consisted of a series of paintings based on homoerotic life. His paintings of swimming pools associated him with the Pop Art movement which was at its peak in Britain and the USA in the early 60's. David Hockney also painted portraits of celebrities, friends, and fashion gurus who came to represent the culture of the times. David Hockney worked in Paris in the 1970's but settled in Los Angeles in 1976. David Hockney established a painting style that consisted of cleanlienss and flatness in his rendition of people and landscapes. David Hockney is known for his realist approach to paintings and his use of clear and bright colors. David Hockney also worked in designing sets for the theatre and opera in New York, London, Paris, and Los Angeles. By the 1980's David Hockney was creating pieces that resembled the Cubist movement, where he'd create compositions from photographs and pieces of photographs.
