David Hockney is a British painter known for his depictions of life in Los Angeles, a fascination that began in childhood and continued when he visited the West Coast in 1964. Hockney captures the hedonistic spirit, culture, activities and the climate of the city in his Pop art paintings. “I prefer to live in color,” he says of his decision to move there. This move takes him from oil painting to acrylic painting, which gives soft and shiny nuances to his works such as in his series Swimming Pools. He works in engraving, photography, drawing on the iPad, is interested in scenography and cites Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse as his influences. Born on July 9, 1937 in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, Hockney attended the prestigious Royal College of Art with the American R.B. Kitaj and took classes with visiting artists such as Francis Bacon and Peter Blake. Today Hockney spends most of his time between the East Riding countryside in Yorkshire and continues to paint outdoors.
