David Hockney was born July 4th, 1937 in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. He studied at Bradford College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London where he was first featured in the exhibition New Contemporaries, which is considered the origin of British Pop Art. Although he was associated with the movement, his early works displayed expressionist elements similar to Francis Bacon’s works. While studying he came out openly as gay, incorporating homosexual elements into much of his work from then on. After graduating in 1962 he taught at Maidstone College of Art for two years before traveling to the United States to teach at the University of Iowa. Over the next decade he taught at the University of Colorado, the University of California, Los Angeles and UC Berkeley. His time in California in the 1960s saw him shift to using acrylics, and in 1974 he began a decade-long personal relationship with Gregory Evans who remains his business partner to this day. Hockney experimented with painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and many other media including incorporating unconventional aspects to his art by using a fax machine, paper pulp, and computer applications. His subjects range from still lifes to landscapes, portraits, dogs, and even creating stage designs for the Royal Court Theatre in Glyndebourne and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. The home he bought and turned into a studio in the Hollywood Hills in 1978 became a hangout for many aspiring artists, but in 1990 he began dividing his time between there and Yorkshire, England to care for his ailing mother. Inspired by his terminally ill friend Jonathan Silver, he began to paint the English countryside. Hockney stayed in Yorkshire for increasingly longer stays even after his mother died in 1999, and by 2003 was painting the countryside en plein air in both oils and watercolor. He set up residence and studio in a converted bed and breakfast in the seaside town of Bridlington, and used digital photographic reproductions to enhance his work. In spring 2020 he moved to La Grande Cour, a farmhouse and studio in Normandy, to escape the global COVID-19 pandemic, and has lived there since. Hockney’s work has been featured in over 400 solo exhibitions and 500 group exhibitions around the world, with his 1972 piece “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)” one of the highest selling pieces of art at auction in history at $90.3 million in 2018. He has received numerous honors from both England and the United States with retrospective shows on several continents in the last year, and the David Hockney Foundation created in 2008 continues to advance appreciation and understanding of the visual arts.
