David Hockney

David Hockney was born in Bradford, England, on 9 July 1937. through out his career, Hockney made prints, portraits of friends, and stage design for the royal court theatre, glyndebourne, la scala and the metropolitan opera in the new york.

while working on a painting of a los Angele's living room, he took a series of photos for his own reference, and fixing them together so he could paint from the image. when he finished, however, he reorganised the collage as an art from unto itself, and began to create more.

In the 1970s, Hockney began working in photography, creating photo collages he called joiners. He continued to create and exhibit art, and in 2011 he was voted the most influenced British artist in the 20th century.

 The reason why i have chosen David Hockney is because i find his technique taking pictures and putting it in to a whole very interesting and simple.
