About Artist David Hockney
David Hockney was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, and studied at Bradford School of Art from 1953 to 1957.
In 1959 he headed south to the Royal College of Art, and the following year took part in the influential Young Contemporaries exhibition for the first time. When he graduated in 1962 he was awarded the Royal College of Art gold medal.
Hockney moved to Los Angeles in 1963, where he began his series of swimming pool paintings.
Since then he has worked in many different media and fields, including stage design, photography and, more recently, iPad and iPod drawings.
