British painter, draughtsman, printmaker, photographer, and designer. After a brilliant prize-winning career as a student at the Royal College of Art, Hockney had achieved international success by the time he was in his mid-20s, and has since consolidated his position as by far the best-known British artist of his generation. In 1964, he moved to Los Angeles and produced an important swimming pool painting. Subequently, the Californian swimming pool has been one of his favourite themes.
