Born 9 July 1937, in Bradford, Yorkshire, England many people consider him as a pop artist, for example this work called "the bigger splash" where he used a technique called hard edged the show the sharpness of of objects and he also used bright colours to make it more bright and appealing.
At aged eleven Hockney went to Bradford Grammar School. To do what he wanted (art) he would have to be put into bottom class so he did so badly so he could join art class. At age sixteen He persuaded his parents to let him go to Bradford Art School.
In 1966 he when to go live in California and began to use bright colours and scenes he was fascinated by showers and swimming pools thought they where common in the US they weren't in the UK at the time, after the painting "American take showers all the time" the fascination with ordinary life made people think he was a pop artist although he doesn't consider himself to be one.
Hockney worked as a stage designer for operas and ballets. He designed covers for vogue magazine in 1984 and 1985 and also worked with photography and colour photocopy's as well as painting.
Quote from Hockney "the work i did with copying machine. . . were not reproductions, they were very complex prints"
He still works as an artist and travails between his homes in California and England regularly.
