From glistening L.A. swimming pools to stucco pink split-levels, David Hockney artwork is the equivalent of a sunny California daydream. Born and raised in Yorkshire, England, David Hockney became entranced with Southern California when he visited in 1963. After relocating, Hockney produced some of his most famed works, including his iconic swimming pool series. Primarily rendered in acrylic, David Hockney artwork is realism at its best—idealistic, conversational, and trance-inducing.
