British artist David Hockney's paintings captured the world in brilliant colour, from carefree 1960s California to the bucolic landscapes of his native Yorkshire.

David Hockney, one of the most celebrated and influential British artists of modern times, has died aged 88.

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

Hockney "passed away peacefully at home on 11 June," just one month before his 89th birthday, his publicist has said.
