RIP David Hockney

A Bigger Splash (1967)

David Hockney, the iconic British painter, has died aged 88. I discovered his work when I was still a teenager and it changed the way I looked at art. His best-known work, A Bigger Splash, defined a vision of Californian cool - so modern and unique. He was one of the most influential artists of our time.
