David Hockney created a large and versatile oeuvre There are a number of Hockney plants that people with good general education should surely know.
these well-known Hockney works of art in hundreds of publications as an artist and with us in a short portrait of a hockney ; Here in the detailed consideration we present a number of works and art projects David Hockneys, which are usually hardly observed:
"We Two Boys Together Cllinging" was still built in 1961 .
This first official statement Hockney on his homosexuality (which was still illegal in England at the time) is named after a poem by the American poet Walt Whitman , with which Hockney dealt intensively at the time.
In 1963 Hockney created the "Domestic Scene Los Angeles" followed another pretty naked bottom with "Man Taking Shower in Beverly Hills"
In 1963, under the title "Play Within a Play", a first stool "trick picture" was created: gallery owner John Kasmin, who stands on a theater stage and presses his face against a glass pane-but maybe only part of the screen that covers the whole background as a stage design?
Hockney achieved the first general fame with more living room-compatible plancies; Here the most beautiful, "The Splash" from 1966, 2002 at Sotheby’s for $ 5,35 million auctioned to a stranger and has been in privately ownership since then (but not the most famous, the "Bigger Splash" , which is presented in Hockney-short portrait).
In 1967 David Hockney painted the "Savings and Loan Buildings" , a perfect composition of blue sky, decent architecture with mirrors nder facade, subtly reserved nature and one of his first completely non -non -unknown declarations of love for California.
This reluctance, which is perceived by people with meaning or longing for clarity as a highly attractive compositions, is repeatedly shown in Hockney's work, here in the meticulously compiled photo collage "The Four Seasons" (of Woodgate Woods) from 2010/11.
In 1968, Hockney portrayed the art greats "Henry Geldmagen and Christopher Scott" , and in the same year "The Print Collector (Portrait of Felix Man)" . In his career, he demonstrated early in his career how well he could capture the mood and attitude of people.
From the 1960s, money payers were curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art ("The Met", largest art museum in the United States with one of the most important art historical collections in the world), as innovative as controversial, the painter Christopher Scott was his partner.
According to money payers, the portrait marks a change into David Hockney because with this picture he gave up the idea of becoming a "modern artist" and instead decided to develop his own talent freely and without compulsion.
Picasso fan Hockney is said to have learned from his hero that you are not obliged as an artist to a style; According to the accompanying text, the 2017 retrospective in the Tate ("David Hockney", May 9th to 29th, 2017 Tate Britain, London) came an oeuvre (far from pop art), with influences from abstract expressionism , naturalism and cubism (see Monopol-magazin.de ).

How well Hockney the development of his amazing reproduction talent could already be compared: Money payers were one of the first curators who countered artists at eye level, which led to many friendships and that he was portrayed by Frank Stella, Larry Rivers, Alice Neel, George Segal, Marisol (Escobar) and Claes Oldenburg .
According to news.artnet.com , the double portrait of money payers/Scott on March 6, 2019 at Christie’s London was for sale, the estimate for determining the entry bid was $ 37.75 million ...
If "the statics of the characters" are criticized in these and other portraits of Hockney, this criticism can probably be countered that stemney's statics have highly lively features. Either "statics" are not a useful criterion or the term does not fit; Because in all its portraits, Hockney captures the personality of those portrayed better than most photos of people with Quick -Living Sport.
1971-1972 Hockney proves its tremendous feeling for material, color and transparency "Still Life on a Glass Table"
From 1976 Hockney tried photographic work in a mosaic -like arrangement and was successful with this art. Here is the folder "Twenty Photographic Pictures" from 1976, whose number 4 from the edition of 80 at the 2016 spring auction of Christies for $ 35,000: christies.com .
In 1976 the "Study of Water, Phoenix, Arizona" , here in the color fashion poster from 1995 (made for the exhibition "David Hockney. Drawings 1954-1994. A Drawing Retrospective" in the Hamburg Kunsthalle, 1995).
From 1979/80 the “Lithographic Water Made of Lines” with amazingly flowing lines.
"Canyon Painting" brings more color into play; Even exceeded by the intensive “Nichols Canyon” in 1980, which seems to pull the viewer's eyes through/about the arranged representation of Nichols Canyon in Hollywood.
In 1982 "Billy + Audrey Wilder, Los Angeles, April 1982" were processed into a shimmering lively portrait with a cubist touch in 144 polaroid images.
From 1993 to 1995 Hockney dedicated a picture cycle to his Dackeln Stanley and Boodgie. To which he is said to have noticed later: "People don't understand these pictures. They did not understand that it is about love and nothing else." (quoted from petrahaftl.at ).
These dachshunds were also there when Hockney painted a BMW 850csi in 1995:
In 1997 Hockney created one of his most beautiful landscape paintings "The Road Across The Wolds" ; A calm, less aggressive version of the famous "Garrowby Hill" from 1998.
In 2001 the book "Secret Knowledge" (in German: secret knowledge. Lost techniques of the old masters rediscovered by David Hockney, Knesebeck, ISBN 3-89660-092-3), after long also active studies by Hockney. In this book, Hockney made the theory that western art from the Renaissance was able to make such huge progress in realism and precision of the presentation because the artists were able to use optical help such as the camera obscura, curved Mirrors etc.
The physicist Charles M. Falco supported Hockney, the theory became known as a Hockney falco thesis in art history and led to many conferences and violent discussions because the use of photographic techniques is only really well documented by the artist of the 19th century.
In 2005, Hockney experimented with a series of individual and double portraits, which he paints directly on the screen without preparatory photography or drawing. This is how the “self -portrait with Charlie” by Hockney and the friendly New York curator Charlie Scheips was created.
In 2007 Hockney painted the "Bigger Trees Near Warter" between Bridlington and York, at the sight of which every Northern countries immediately feel at home.
In 2010 Hockney's version of the Sermon on the Mount II (after Claude) " . The French baroque painter Claude Lorrain, one of the main developers of the genre landscape painting, whose lyrical-romantic style is known with a cheerful mood as "idyllic-arcadic" is meant by "After Claude", but is certainly out of spoiling HOCKNEY in terms of a friendly atmosphere.
In 2012, Hockney designed a huge large picture (176 m²) for the Vienna State Opera, which was shown in the 2012/2013 season as part of the “Iron Curtain” exhibition series designed by Museum in Progress.
From 2013, the following portraits of the artist John Baldessari , the publisher Benedikt Taschen and the art critic Martin Gayford are. These photographs of the people depicted in turn impressively show how exactly David Hockney could grasp the core of a person.
In 2015, this lavish "Garden" you to idle, just not the 78 -year -old artist, who prepares the latest works for the exhibition "David Hockney: Current" in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne from November 11, 2016 to March 13, 2017. Here the catalog for the exhibition is leafed through:
On September 26, 2018, David Hockney revealed the church window in Westminster Abbey, which he designed on the iPad and Queen Elizabeth II . dedicated. The Queen's Window shows clearly and colorful deep blue sky over blooming hawthorn on a country path through the Yorkshire Wolds, the hill procession so loved by Hockney in the English county.
It was just a small, stimulating insight into the big world of David Hockney, there is infinitely more art of Hockney. Who should arouse a lot of interest in the near future, because on November 15, 2018 at Christie's New York David Hockney's "Portrait d'une Artiste (Pisquine Avec Deux Personnages)" from 1972 for $ 90,312,500 million.
Among the living artists, David Hockney holds the price record, overall he has in the list of the most expensive paintings with No. 17 after Leonardo da Vincis "Salvator Mundi" , five Picassos, two modiglianis, one Bacon, Pollock , de Kooning, Klimt , Munch, Basquiat, Lichtenstein and Hopper also not a bad position ...
Eternal art by David Hockney
If you don't have 90 mille on the high edge, you can watch David Hockney "somewhat cheaper" - in the over 70 public collections of the countries that have already brought it to museums that can show people more than national (military) history.

David Hockney began to pass on his knowledge very early on: 1962/63, David Hockney at Maidstone College of Art , an independent art college, now part of the University College for the Creative Arts with locations in Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone, Rochester, has z. B. Walking-Dead artist Charles Adlard, cover artist Roger Dean, fashion designer Zandra Rhodes.
Soon after his arrival in the USA in the summer of 1964, Hockney received a teaching position at the University of IOWA. In 1965 he taught at the University of Colorado, Boulder College, 1966/67 at California University in Los Angeles. This is followed by further teaching posts at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Los Angeles and Berkeley by 1967. In 1969 Hockney even served a visiting professorship at the Hamburg art college.
In the meantime, many other artists have dealt very personally with Hockney's work, e.g. the Moroccan artist Soufiane Ababri , who is questioned with various media such as drawing, photo video, installation and performances, among other things homosexuality, racism and history and is already known as a new David Hockney (see Hurriyetdailynews.com ).
The French artist Zevs exhibited his modern version of the Bigger Splashs, a series of "Big Oil Splashes" . So it is planned here with oil, it runs from the logos of Exxon, Esso, Chevron, Shell, totally black into the pool and dirty the water.
