Acclaimed British Artist David Hockney Dies at 88

David Hockney, a pivotal figure in contemporary painting, has passed away at 88. Known for his vibrant portraits and landscapes, his work defined artistic movements from the 1960s onwards.


His career spanned London's swinging '60s, the counter-culture of 1970s Los Angeles and the bucolic calm of springtime in Normandy. David Hockney was a master painter of portraits and landscapes, injecting riotous colour into canvases that hang in collections from New York to Tokyo. We take a look back at the career of the British artist following his death at 88 years old.
