- Biography of David Hockney
David Hockney's bright swimming pools, split-level homes and suburban Californian landscapes are a strange brew of calm and hyperactivity. Shadows appear to have been banished from his acrylic canvases of the 1960s, slick as magazine pages. Flat planes exist side-by-side in a patchwork, muddling our sense of distance. Hockney's unmistakable style i...
Like other Pop artists, Hockney revived figurative painting in a style that referenced the visual language of advertising. What separates him from others in the Pop movement is his obsession with C...Hockney insists on personal subject matter - another thing that separates him from most other Pop artists. He depicts the domestic sphere - scenes from his own life and that of friends. This aligns...Hockney was openly gay, and has remained a staunch advocate for gay rights. In the context of a macho art scene that dismissed "pretty color" as effeminate, Hockney's bright greens, purples, pinks,...In actively seeking to imitate photographic effects in his work, Hockney is a forerunner of the Photorealists. He is also a heretic among purists who feel that painting should rely only on the arti...Childhood
One of five children, David Hockney was born into a working-class family in Yorkshire, northern England, in the industrial city of Bradford. His father, a conscientious objector during the Second World War, "had a kind heart" remembers Hockney. "He thought there should be justice in the world". He also romanticized the ideals of the Communist party in Russia. While adopting his father's anti-war stance, Hockney remained resistant to ideologies and hierarchies. As a schoolboy, Hockney says of...
Early Training
At 16, Hockney was admitted to the acclaimed Bradford School of Art, where he studied traditional painting and life drawing alongside Norman Stevens, David Oxtoby, and John Loker. Unlike most of his peers Hockney was from a more humble family, and he worked tirelessly, especially in his life drawing classes, recalling: "I was there from nine in the morning till nine at night." In 1957 he was called up for National Service, but as a conscientious objector he served out his time as a hospital o...
Mature Period
Hockney's first solo show, held in 1963 at John Kasmin's gallery, proved very successful. The following year he traveled to Los Angeles for the first time, where he met leading intellectual and artistic figures including Christopher Isherwood, and designer Ossie Clarke, with whom he struck up a close friendship and later traveled to the Grand Canyon. He would later be best man at Clarke's wedding to Celia Birtwell, of whom he would paint and draw many portraits. Over the following few years,...

- We Two Boys Together Clinging, 1961. Una de sus primeras obras, titulada We Two Boys Together Clinging (algo como “Dos chicos aferrándonos el uno al otro”) , fue una de las referencias más tempranas a la homosexualidad de Hockey en su arte.
- A Bigger Splash, 1967. Hockney pintó A Bigger Splash (“El gran chapuzón”) mientras enseñaba en la Universidad de California en Berkeley. Las piscinas de Los Ángeles eran uno de sus temas favoritos, y se dio a conocer por sus grandes e icónicas obras que las representaban con un estilo vibrante y realista.
- American Collectors (Fred and Marcia Weisman), 1968. Las pinturas de retratos de Hockney de finales de los 60 ofrecen una visión del estado de ánimo y la cultura de Estados Unidos en ese momento.
- A Bigger Grand Canyon, 1998. Inspirado por la escala monumental del Gran Cañón, Hockney comenzó a fotografiar esta maravilla natural en 1982. “No hay duda de que la emoción de estar de pie en ese borde del Gran Cañón es espacial”, dijo una vez.
David Hockney (born 9 July 1937) is an English painter, draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. As an important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The Royal Academy’s blockbuster David Hockney: A Bigger Picture opened in 2012, featuring large-scale works inspired by the East Yorkshire landscape. After 2012, Hockney turned away from painting and from his Yorkshire home, returning to Los Angeles.
