David Hockney
David Hockney is a British artist known for vibrant paintings of Los Angeles swimming pools, California landscapes, and intimate portraits.
His work spans pop art, photo collages, and iPad drawings.
Hockney's signature style features bold colors and flattened perspectives: a Hockney-blue pool, very Hockney.
One of the most influential living painters.
