David Hockney
David Hockney was born in bradford, England, on 9 july 1937. through out his career, Hockney made prints, potraits 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 angeles living room, he took a series of photos for his own referance, and fixing them together so he could paint from the image. when he finished, however, he reognized 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 te 20th century.
