                                                   David Hockney

Hockney was born in Bradford, England on 9 July 1937 to Laura and Kenneth Hockney. He was educated first at Wellington Primary School, then Bradford Grammar School, Bradford College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. While he was there Hockney said he felt at home, he took pride and success in his work here. While a student at the Royal College of Art, Hockney was featured in the exhibition Young Contemporaries , alongside Peter Blake, which announced the arrival of British Pop art. Hockney's portraits have been painted during different periods in his life. In 1968 and for the next few years he painted friends and lovers and relatives just under life size and in pictures that gave good likenesses of his subjects. Hockney had his first one-man show in 1963 at the age of 26, and by 1970 the first of several major retrospectives was organized at Whitechapel Gallery, London, which subsequently travelled to three additional European institutions. 

I think that his word is very odd looking and that some of his work is some what like distortion art the way he paint lots of panting's and then he joins the all together to make one big painting like the one show on the bottom.
