David Hockney: The Colors of Music
An English-born artist based in Los Angeles, David Hockney is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Poetic and narrative, his work progressed from pop to naturalism to photo collage – always with a unique, powerful use of light and color. Most recently, he has devoted his creative energy to stage design for opera, with a passion and impact reminiscent of Picasso. His inventive creations have transformed opera into a magical experience – one to watch as well as to hear. Performances with his sets – including a touring exhibition of his models, drawings and paintings – have taken place across Europe and the United States. His work has always been critically acclaimed and he has faced no hardship in his career. Ironically, this passionate music lover is now going deaf. At the height of his craft, Hockney is in a private race against time.
