	David Hockney - MSN Encarta
		David Hockney, CH, RA, (born 9 July 1937) is an English artist, based in Los Angeles, California, United States.
		David Hockney, born in 1937, English painter, draftsman, photographer, and set designer, known for his satirical paintings, his masterly prints and drawings, and his penetrating portraits of contemporary personalities.
		Hockney's wryness and wit together with his talent for strong composition and design led him, at the end of the 1960s, to a more naturalistic manner, particularly in his portraits.

	David Hockney : Biography
		In a similar way, Hockney also investigates the temporal dimension of painting in all its extremes: from the momentary nature of a splash of water left behind by a bather after diving into the pool, to the meditative tranquillity and duration of a precisely composed still-life.
		Hockney created his first oil paintings and colour lithographs in the late 50s and, in 1957, was confronted with abstract painting for the first time at an exhibition of the works of Alan Davie in Wakefield.
		David Hockney's book, Secret Knowledge, on the role of optical aids in the history of pictorial representation, was published in the autumn of 2001.

		Amongst Hockney's finest works are, in my opinion, his double portraits from the 1970's of celebrities such as Ossie Clark and wife, his photographic collages of the 1980's, and his famous swimming pool pictures, to name but a few.
		Hockney as a person is a tireless traveller, and I think this is related to his quest for the new and exciting things of the world.
		Hockney seems to love the sense of producing an original picture without paint or photography, and comments that between his drawing with computers and the publication of his book That's The Way I See It there was no photography involved in reproducing his computerised work.

	David Hockney's Secret Knowledge
		NEW YORK—From the moment David Hockney began to suspect that the Old Masters had created many of their paintings with the help of lenses—in effect tracing their subjects— he insisted he was not saying they cheated.
		Hockney's near-obsession with optics goes back three years, boosted by several "eureka experiences." The first came when he visited the Ingres exhibit at the National Gallery in London in January 1999 and was struck by the French artist's small but "uncannily accurate" drawings of visitors to Rome during the 1820s.
		Hockney left it to Falco to lay out their proof that lenses were used in "portions" of many paintings, such as a 15th century work whose changing perspective lines suggested that a mirror apparatus had been moved and refocused.

	David Hockney Summary
		Hockney's parents, Kenneth and Laura Hockney, allowed their son early on to explore the world around him and have the freedom and mobility to interpret what he saw in way that pleased him.
		David Hockney was able to combine his formidable knowledge relating to the history of art and its techniques with a very unusual insight or sensitivity to the contemporary visual currents.
		Hockney was able to manipulate his innate skill as a photographer and his learned ability to paint and combined them into something that, while not new, took people by surprise.

	David Hockney biography
		The force of Hockney's personality and humor, together with his commanding draughtsmanship and with subjects drawn from his own experience and literary interests, enabled him to transcend his influences and to establish a clear artistic identity at an early age.
		Hockney's subsequent development was a continuation of his student work, which was initially regarded by critics as part of the wave of Pop art that emanated from the Royal College of Art, although a significant change in his approach occurred after his move to California at the end of 1963.
		By the end of the decade Hockney's anxieties about appearing modern had abated to the extent that he was able to pare away the devices and to allow his naturalistic rendering of the world to speak for itself.

	Why David Hockney Should Not Be Taken Seriously
		Hockney seems to be particularly fascinated with this device (he uses a cheap shaving mirror in his "experiments"), even though there's no evidence that such a mirror could have existed in the Renaissance era.
		Hockney doesn't present any examples of his "eyeballed" drawings in his book (he can't draw much better than the average high school student can doodle) but he did "demonstrate" some drawings of faces using optical aids and they are uniformly pretty terrible.
		Hockney doesn't explain the existence of self portraits of this kind and their existence contradicts his central thesis that it is impossible for artists to create realistic images without optical aids.

		Since figure-painting seemed 'anti-modern' Hockney began by including words in his paintings as a way of humanizing them, but these were soon joined by figures painted in a deliberately rough and rudimentary style which owed a great deal to Jean Dubuffet.

	ArtandCulture Artist: David Hockney
		Hockney’s poolside scenes seem almost too composed, too still and quiet, too reserved, in fact, to express nothing more than their surface suggests.
		Hockney paints only the plume of white water against the blue of the pool -- no trace of the swimmer remains.
		Hockney’s wit is synonymous with his capacity to conceal; his humor is a function of the unpainted that lingers within what he paints: you get the sense that he is not, in fact, trying to be funny.

		Hockney was born on July 9, 1937 in the industrial town of Bradford, in Yorkshire, England, to a working-class but politically radical family.

		Hockney is the most popular British painter of his generation, but in recent years his painting has taken a back seat to his work in photography.
		This video, subtitled "Hockney the Photographer," is composed of a fascinating set of interviews with the artist demonstrating his "joiner" technique of creating photographic collages that vastly expand the limits of the art of the photo.
		Hockney says that although he took pictures for years, he always thought of the medium as inferior because it freezes just a single moment in time, whereas paintings and drawings are not subject to this limitation.

	BBC - h2g2 - David Hockney - Photocollage
		Hockney's works have strong links with Cubism, in that his motivation for producing them was to introduce three artistic elements which a single photograph cannot have, namely layered time, space and narrative.
		Hockney points out that a single photo expresses a single instant, and so cannot represent time or narrative (however, this is a debatable point, as can be appreciated by looking at the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson) - "Cubism was total-vision: it was about two eyes and the way we see things.
		Finally, there is the spatial aspect to Hockney's joiners, which ties in to Hockney's feelings about the objectivity of the image.

		I caught up with David Hockney recently by phone from Los Angeles, where he was supervising the re-installation of his 1987 sets for the LA Opera production of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde.
		Hockney still keeps a home in L.A., but spends most of his time lately in Bridlington, a coastal town in East Yorkshire close to where he grew up, and where it's easy for him to pursue his deepening preoccupation with landscape painting.
		Two years ago I headed out there for a few days to talk with Hockney and to drive around with him to the places where he was setting up his easel.
