David Hockey: A Bigger Picture
A Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man
One of the defining figures of the modernist art movement, David Hockney has carved out a career of enviable longevity and stylistic diversity. Renowned for his L.A.-based pool series and his large-scale landscapes, Hockney's striking use of colour and inventive artistic vision. With unprecedented access to Hockney's working and personal life, David Hockney: A Bigger Picture intimately captures the 70-year-old on his return to South Yorkshire after 25 years in California.
