About the Artist
David Hockney is an English painter, draftsman, printmaker, photographer, and stage designer whose works were characterized by economy of technique, a preoccupation with light, and a frank mundane realism derived from Pop art and photography.
Much of Hockney’s subject matter was autobiographical, including portraits and self portraits and quiet incidental scenes of his friends and his quarters. He published several series of graphic works in book form, including illustrations for Six Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm and The Blue Guitar. After experimenting with abstract landscapes during the 1990s, Hockney considered the representation of space in a series of multi-paneled works during the early 21st century. He also pursued his long-standing interest in new technologies.
“In the end nobody knows how it’s done — how art is made. It can’t be explained. Optical devices are just tools. Understanding a tool doesn’t explain the magic of creation. Nothing can.” — David Hockney
