Art can be found everywhere. Funny enough it´s a movie that brought my attention towards DAvid Hookeny. I love the classic hollywood film "California Suit" with a young Maggie Smith and with even younger Michael Cain, Jane Fonda and Walter Mathau. At the begining, when the names of the actors are shown there are in the backround a few wonderfull pictures. I searched and found that these ones are from David Hockney from his work of the 60´s and 70´s. He was born in the 1930´s in England but spend a considerable amount of his life in the United States.
What i like about his work are his California paintings from the 60´s. Hockney featured typically colorful southern California architecture and a lot of water. Overall, he was enamoured of the more laid-back, sunny lifestyle that the city of Los Angeles provided. It was around this time that Hockney developed the naturalistic, realistic style he is most known for today. From his 80´s work i like some of his photographic collages. Using a Polaroid camera, Hockney would assemble collages of photos that he would take as quickly as possible.
