Mondialement connu, notamment pour sa toile « A Bigger Splash » et ses « Pool Paintings », l’artiste britannique a produit une œuvre entre le pop art et l’hyperréalisme, n’hésitant pas à utiliser les nouvelles technologies (photocopieur, iPhone, iPad…) comme source d’inspiration. Il s’est éteint jeudi 11 juin à 88 ans.

Hockney moved from London to Southern California in the 1960s and was an innovative painter, photographer, stage designer and printmaker.

La sua carriera è durata oltre sei decenni
