David Hockney Pop Art - The greatest Pop Artist of all time?


David Hockney may have been born in Bradord in 1937 but his international life and take on modern pop culture went much further than these humble routes.

I suppose it can only have been a true Yourkshireman who would have the ironic skill to expose many, quite American cultural traits during the 1960s and 1970s.  After studying at the Royal College of Arts, Hockney quickly becam recognised for his expressionism, borrowing styles from a number of his contemporaries and from classical artists.




As he experimented with a variety of mediums, it became clear that Acrylics (which were new and exciting in the 1960s) were his prefered and most suited ammunition against the pop culture and consumerism that grew over the decades.

He had a number of successes, and really showed himself to be of a talent and quality that over the decades has weighed a significant and lasting imprint on the minds of many young artists and the world of art more generally.

Hockney became well know for his large scale art works or "joiners". He used photocollage the to pin photos together of a subject in order to discuss how human vision worked. He always had a good eye for such large scale projects and at times created massive joined paintings, including his "A Bigger Grand Canyon" (1998) which sold for $4.6 million and now hangs in the National Gallery of Australia.

Hockney also undertook a number of magazine projects, including designing a range of pages for Vogue. He has always varied his works, and shown a willingness to engage with a variety of styles and mediums.

Perhaps his best know works though, were created during the 1960s when he studied life in California - his images "The Splash"  and "The Bigger Splash" have become iconic in every sense of the word.

You certainly can't deny that his works look simply amazing on any wall. At once brightening a wall and adding significant class to a room.
