The British painter, one of the most influential figures in contemporary art, has died at the age of 88. We look back on a career marked by color, experimentation, and a creative curiosity that never ceased to renew itself. David Hockney dedicated his life to observation. To looking closely at a swimming pool lit by the California sun, the face of a loved one, an empty road, the transformation of a garden through the seasons, or the creative possibilities that an iPad screen might hold. The British artist, considered one of the key figures in 20th- and 21st-century art, has died at the age of 88. His legacy spans more than seven decades of work and a body of work that defies easy categorization: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, collage, stage design, and digital art. Beyond his most recognizable images, Hockney leaves behind a lesson that runs through his entire body of work: even what we see every day can be extraordinary when we learn to pay attention to it.
