David Hockney is a famous British artist of the modern era with a contemporary style that is fresh and charming, and has gained him critical success on both sides of the pond, as well as all over the rest of the world. The strong-willed Yorkshireman, who has also spent alot of time in Los Angeles, is a key figure in the modern art world, and this article only serves as a teaser to his broad spectrum of talents and catalog of works. Hockney's charming paintings capture emotions and relationships brilliantly in his portraits, often covering two people together in their normal environment.

A Bigger Splash is perhaps Hockney's best known painting and thoroughly deserves its inclusion here.It was painted in California in the early summer of 1967. The hidden depths of the painting's meaning is not immediately obvious.

Garrowby Hill represents Hockney's deep love for his native Yorkshire's classic English countryside, with a beautiful landscape captured in Hockney's brilliantly vibrant style. David Hockney paintings often portrayed his native Yorkshire. Yorkshiremen commonly have a great pride for their region, unmatched almost anywhere across the rest of England. Hockney is no different. David Hockney commonly uses tranquil settings for his paintings, rarely busy crowded venues. He found painting as a relaxing enjoyable pastime, and this is reflected in his paintings. When not the English countryside landscapes, even paintings set in Los Angeles would tend to be of gardens or swimming pools, with a relaxed air about them.

Man Taking Shower in Beverly Hills, painted from a photograph,came about from Hockney's fascination with the tendency of Americans to shower so frequently. Hockney spent a lot of time in Los Angeles, the location of the painting, and was also interested in capturing a human body caressing itself.

A Bigger Grand Canyon, currently stored In Canberra, is an extraordinary work requiring a substantial viewing distance in order to fully enjoy Hockney's play on perspective and appreciate his depiction of this great landmark.

Malibu summed up his love and affection for another new scenic spot that he discovered during his art career, Malibu, where he purchased a beach house.
