David Hockney is born in Bradford, Yorkshire, on 9 July, the son of Kenneth and Laura Hockney. Between 1953-57 he studied at Bradford School of Art, where his fellow students include Norman Stevens, David Oxtoby and John Loker. He received a traditional training based on drawing from life and produces figure studies, portraits and cityscapes.

His tutors included Roger de Grey, Ceri Richards, Ruskin Spear and Carel Weight.
In 1970 Hockney had his first retrospective, David Hockney: Paintings, Prints and Drawings 1960–1970, opens at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London. Throughout the year Hockney made various trips to Europe and visits New York and Los Angeles. He paints Le Parc des Sources, Vichy, a portrait of Peter Schlesinger and Ossie Clark with surrealist overtones, which deals with illusionistic space. Begins Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy, the painting that comes closest to naturalism according to Hockney. Commissioned to paint a portrait of Sir David Webster for the Royal Opera House, London.
In 1967, Hockney's painting, Peter Getting Out Of Nick's Pool, won the John Moores Painting Prize at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.

He was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Progress medal in 1988 and the Special 150th Anniversary Medal and Honorary Fellowship (HonFRPS) in recognition of a sustained, significant constribution to the art of photography in 2003. He was made a Companion of Honour in 1997 and is a Royal Academican. In 2012, Queen Elizabeth II appointed him to the Order of Merit, an honor restricted to 24 members at any one tiem for their contributions to the arts and sciences.
He was a Destinguished Honoree of the National Arts Association, Los Angeles, in 1991 and received the First Annual Award of Achievement from the Archives of American Arts, Los Angeles, in 1993. He was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the American Associates of the Royal Academy Trust, New York in 1992 and was given a Foreign Honorary Membership to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1997. In 2003, Hockney was awarded the Lorenzo de' Medici Lifetime Career Award of the Florence Biennale, Italy.
