David Hockney (born 1937) is a British painter, draftsman, and printmaker, is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Associated with the Pop Art movement in the 1960s, he is best known for his vibrant depictions of California life, especially swimming pools, modern architecture and sunlit landscapes. Hockney has consistently experimented with perspective and visual perception, working across media such as painting, photography, stage design, and later, digital art using iPads.
These works of art are on long term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection. #artacrossaustralia
