WEEK EIGHT...DAY FOUR

DAVID HOCKNEY
David Hockney,  (born 9 July 1937)
is an English painter, draughtsman, printmaker,
stage designer and photographer,
who is based in Malibu, California,
although he also maintains a base in London.
He is considered one of the most influential
British artists of the twentieth century.
While still a student at the Royal College of Art,
Hockney was featured in the exhibition Young Contemporaries
that announced the arrival of British Pop Art.
His early works also display expressionist elements,
not dissimilar to certain works by
Francis Bacon (another favorite of mine).
