David Hockney is an artist born in 1937 in Yorkshire. He attended the Bradford School of Art and received traditional training in still life paintings, portraits, and landscapes. In 1960 he won the Junior Section Prize in the Young Contemporaries exhibition at the Tate gallery, and found his model Mo McDermott.
Comparison of Hockney's photography and art:
Across all of Hockney's work there is a common theme of mainly landscapes, he likes to paint still life paintings. He uses alot of bright colors in his paintings, but incorporates more black and white into his photography. His paintings are all "normal" settings with unlikely elements like a rainbow indoors or upside down people. His paintings remind me of picasso. His photographs capture normal scenes but he uses camera angles and different levels of zoom to make them all unique and different.
Additional Facts:
The most any of Hockney's work has sold for was 7.9 million dollars, it was a depiction of an art collector in a hot pink dress.
