Summary

"I prefer living in color" - David Hockney

Widely inspired by the XXth century Pop-Art movement, David Hockney still remains an unclassifiable artist. Giving life to multicoloured landscapes and characters, he maintains confusion between painting and photography, between subjectivity and reality, so as to catch his audience in his brightly coloured universe.

Exhibition at the Centre Pompidou from June, 19th 2017 to October, 23rd 2017

Celebrating the artist's 80th birthday with a delightful catalogue !
