1. David Hockney has often been voted as “the greatest living artist” and is also one of the richest contemporary artists. A Bigger Grand Canyon, a series of 60 canvases combined to produce one enormous picture, was bought by the National Gallery of Australia for $4.6 million.

2. One of five children, Hockney was born into a working-class family in Yorkshire. He showed an early interest in art and in 1959 began a post-graduate course at the Royal College of Arts in London. He did well as a student but refused to write an essay at the final exam. Instead he made 50 copies of his satirical sketch titled The Diploma (some of them are at the Tate now). Recognising his talent, the RCA changed its regulations and awarded the diploma.

3. Hockney is a many-sided artist. He has made his name in Pop art, Expressionism and Cubism. He has experimented with painting, drawing, printmaking, watercolours and photography. The subject matter of his works ranges from still life and landscape to portraits of his friends and his dogs. He has also published a number of books and screenplays and has worked as a set and costume stage designer. Hockney was commissioned to design the cover and pages for the December 1985 issue of the French edition of Vogue [vɔːɡ]. In 2018, he created a stained-glass window for Westminster Abbey to celebrate Elizabeth II’s reign.

4. Hockney’s early works were full of vibrant greens, purples, pinks and yellows. However, when he came to California in the 1960s (and became a longtime resident of Los Angeles), he started using acrylic instead of oil and his art took on a new look. It was there that Hockney made his iconic series of paintings of swimming pools. One of them, A Bigger Splash, is now part of the Tate Gallery collection.

5. In the early 1980s the artist began creating photo collages that he called “joiners”. At first, true to the spirit of Cubism he arranged photos taken from different perspectives and at slightly different times into a patchwork. Then his collages took on a shape of their own, creating abstract representations of the landscapes or portraits. Although his photographs were successful, Hockney returned to painting in the late 1980s.

6. Throughout his career, the artist has created portraits and double portraits in a realistic style and repeatedly depicted the same subjects. He has also turned to his own figure year after year, making over 300 self-portraits.

7. Hockney is sure that you can’t be tired of nature and loves painting landscapes. Inspired by Van Gogh, Picasso and Matisse, he has developed a colourful palette ['pælit] and re-imagined English landscape. He often creates paintings made of several smaller canvases placed together.

8. Since 2009, Hockney has painted hundreds of portraits, still lifes and landscapes using the Brushes app designed by Apple. In 2010, he held an exhibition in Paris showing his art made on iPads. His artworks were also exhibited digitally on large screens.

9. David Hockney has had over 400 solo and over 500 group exhibitions. His first one-man show at London gallery was held when the artist was only 26. 2017 was the year of David Hockney because that year the internationally recognised British artist celebrated his 80^th birthday. To pay homage, the Tate, the Pompidou Centre and the Met organised exhibitions dedicated to his creative work. They were the most visited ever, with over 4,000 visitors per day at the Tate and over 5,000 – in Paris.
