Snappy Dresser
He is a British artist born on July 9, 1937 in Bradford, England and is considered one of the leading figures in pop art. Hockney went to two art colleges for his education: Bradford College of Art and Royal College of Art. During his tim in Royal College, he met R. B. Kitaj and Peter Blake. Hockney later visited California and due to its influence, decided to make several acryllic paintings of swimming pools. Hockney is also partially responsible for the Hockney-Falco thesis: the belief that the “masters” used lenses in their drawings, resulting in the photographic style of painting.
