Hockney
Pool-painting Briton
David Hockney is a British artist known for vivid, sun-drenched paintings of California swimming pools and landscapes.
His work spans painting, photography, and digital art.
The name sometimes appears as shorthand for his distinctive style—bright colors, flat perspectives, and leisure scenes: very Hockney, that poolside shot.
