About the artist: David Hockney’s art remains fascinating with its pleasant ambiguities: his prints, drawings, and paintings are warm yet somewhat distant; filled with light but often dark and unsettling; simple, frank, and banal, yet ethereal and complex. The artist’s stature in the contemporary art world is such that, in a 2011 survey of a thousand British painters and sculptors, he was named the most influential British artist of all time. Hockney grew up in Bradford, in Yorkshire, northern England. He studied at Bradford School of Art from 1953 to 1957, then at the Royal College of Art in London from 1959 to 1962. Although trained in art during a time when abstraction dominated the field, Hockney remained resolutely committed to figurative painting and drawing. Hockney’s early paintings suggest a search for a style, moving from expressionism to a grotesque evoking James Ensor. But Hockney found himself almost as soon as he arrived in Los Angeles in 1963. The move from gray, rainy Britain to a world of bright sun and sparkling water gave Hockney a sense of freedom and an artistic epiphany. He spent most of the following five years in L.A., painting luminous canvases such as A Bigger Splash (1967), things that made him happy: pools, manicured lawns, palm trees, stucco buildings, and luxury objects like shower enclosures. Hockney also painted people, almost always his friends. His California portraits such as Beverly Hills Housewife (1966) are considered among his best works. They are both grandiose, intimate, and poetic. In the 1970s, Hockney returned to Britain and devoted much of his time to photography and printmaking. He came back to painting in the 1980s, and to subjects such as still lifes, marine landscapes, and portraits. Hockney has always been fascinated by the use of technology in art—credit for inventing the technique of assembling Polaroid photos into a collage to form a panoramic image—and he used the Brush application to paint on an iPad. Because he is prolific and works across a wide range of media, Hockney’s art is available at a broad range of prices. His work, always striking and provocative, should find a place in any complete collection of contemporary art. #David Hockney #Los Angeles 1984 #Olympic Games #Official Poster #Pop Art #contemporary Art Lithograph #Olympic Memorabilia #hockney #"Diver in Swimming Pool #Polaroids of Swimmer
