David HOCKNEY - The diver, 1972, original lithograph

David Hockney : David Hockney is born in 1937 in Bradford, United Kingdom. He lives and works between his native province, Yorkshire and Kensington in London. David Hockney studied at the Royal College of Art in London from which he graduated in 1962. He began his career as a press cartoonist for the Sunday Times. After Egypt, he discovered the United States and particularly California, where the magnificent villas and swimming pools became a recurring theme in his work. David Hockney is one of the major figures of the pop art movement in the 1960s but also of hyperealism. Its particularity is to use shimmering and very colourful shades. David Hockney is inspired by photography. His work reflects this appeal with striking realism.
