| English-born Hockney is versatile
and experimental, working as a painter, printmaker, stage designer, photographer,
and draftsman. He gained prominence in the early 1960s as a leader of Pop
Art and is strongly associated with Los Angeles, his longtime home and a
major them in his work. His oeuvre ranges from bold-colored epic landscapes
of California and the West (as in the Museum's painting) to portraits of
friends and photocollages, in which he joins together hundreds of photographs
forming Cubist-inspired compositions. |
