Description

David Hockney is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Born in Yorkshire, England he lived and worked for decades in Los Angeles. His paintings with their ultra saturated colors captured the intense sunlight of L.A. and Arizona. Later he painted enormous works of the Yorkshire countryside as well as a series of 82 portraits of friends. He is known for his use of bright colors, photo collages, stage designs for operas, fax and iPod drawings and his study of the optical devices used by the Old Masters.
