The life and works of David Hockney

Due to a cancellation, I have decided to repeat this talk, which I previously gave approximately six years ago, about my favourite artist, the lad from Bradford, David Hockney.

It is a remarkable story concerning a man from a very normal background who progresses through life to become one of the best-known artists in the world, is voted as the most influential British artist of all time by 1,000 of his fellow artists and who’s art sells for hundreds of millions of pounds.

Initially his art appears to be quite simple but it is soon seen to be full of detail and each work tells a story.

David is also famous for designing wonderful sets and scenery for major operas around the world.

He has recently moved to live in Normandy, France and his art work there featuring much of the countryside near his home is a delight.
