           David Hockney
Introduction
I was first introduced to the artwork of David
  Hockney, while I was visiting my
  Grandparents in Yorkshire. We decided to
  visit an art gallery, and chose Salts Mill, on
  my Grandmothers recommendation.
(For more information on my visit to Salts Mill, click here, then click Part B).

The Mill was very interesting historically, but it
 was Hockney’s work that I loved the most,
 my favourites being the Grand Canyon, 25
 Trees, and at the top of the list, his
 paintings of his two Daschunds, Stanley
 and Boodge.

David Hockney
Early Life
David Hockney was born in Bradford, England, on the 9th
  July, 1937, to Laura and Kenneth Hockney, their fourth
  child. His parents believed on the best education
  possible for their children and he was raised strict
  Methodist. As a child, he loved drawing cartoons and
  watching opera. He attended Wellington Primary
  School, and then in 1948, he won a scholarship to
  Bradford Grammar School, one of the top schools in the
  country at the time. At BGS, he enjoyed Art but not
  other subjects, so he wanted to transfer to the Regional
  College of Art, he was allowed to in 1958. He took his
  National Diploma in Design Examination, and graduated
  with honours. Then he went to the Painting School of
  the Royal College.

Career
In 1961, Hockney travelled to New York, and then later, after
   completing his studies at the Royal College, returned to New
   York, where he met Andy Warhol. He then travelled to
   California, and bought a house there, as he loved the
   environment so much. This inspired a great number of pool
   paintings. It was in America, in 1964 that Hockney had his
   first exhibition, where he sold every painting. During his time
   in America, Hockney also did a lot of teaching.
In 1996 he and his partner, Peter Schlesinger travelled around
   Europe together, and this is where Hockneys interest in
   Photography began. In 1974 a man called Jack Hazan
   completed a biographical film on Hockneys life, at first he
   didn't like it, mainly because of how it portrayed his previous
   relationship, but signed for its release to give Hazan the credit
   he deserved.
In the 1980s he started making photo collages, with a Polaroid
   camera, from photos that were taken as quickly as possible, a
   famous example of this would be the one of his mother.

    Exhibitions
    Hockney currently has three ongoing
     exhibitions, ‘25 Trees and Other
     Pictures’, at Salts Mill in Saltaire;
     ‘Bigger Trees Near Warter’, at the
     Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in Bradford
     and the most famous one ‘David
     Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture’, at the
     Royal Academy of Arts in London.
iPad and iPhone Art
    Hockney has always openly embraced new
     technology, for example when the colour
     laser copier was released in the nineties, he
     was impressed with the colour, cost and the
     fact that he could send all his images to
     friends. So it came as no surprise that when
     the iPhone was released, he bought one
     straight away. Then when the iPad was
     released he said if it was anything as good as
     the iPhone, it would be hugely influencial to
     his artwork. Which it has, because since
     then, using an app called Brushes, he has
     produced vast numbers of art pieces for his
     London Exhibition.
Here is a link to an article on the BBC News website about Hockneys iPad art:

Awards
David Hockney has won a great number of
 awards during his career including, the Kodak
 Photography Book Award and the British
 Book Design and Production Award, and he
 was also offered a knighthood in 1990 but
 turned it down. However recently he was
 appointed a member of
 the Order of Merit by the
 Queen. The Order of Merit
 is presented to high
 achievers in the arts, and
 there can only be 24
 members at any one time.

Why I Chose David Hockney as
My Hero
For my hero/heroine I wanted to use
 someone whose work I really enjoyed,
 and as soon as I saw Hockneys
 paintings of Stanley and Boodge I
 thought I would do him as my hero for
 my Arts Award. After seeing the rest of
 the exhibition at Saltaire and doing
 further research on David Hockney, I
 decided that I would do him as my
 hero.
