David Hockney is one of the prominent painters of the contemporary world, who has revolutionized the style of painting called 'British Pop art'. Without merely sticking to landscapes or portraits, David explored his weird fascinations such as the swimming pools of Los Angeles and homosexuality. With such unconventional themes, his works were widely acclaimed and well-received by art patrons and critics alike. David Hockney even experimented with photography during the 1980's decade and introduced a new style of art called 'The Joiners'. The artist, who felt that photography using a wide lens, which was popular at that time, was quite boring, and merged pieces of Polaroid together to create unique pictures which narrated short stories. The artist's reputation also grabbed the attention of art schools, who invited the creative David to impart lessons on art to their students. The artist has also expressed his opinions on art through dozens of books like 'Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the lost techniques of the Old Masters' and Martha’s Vineyard and Other Places: My Third Sketchbook from the Summer of 1982'. Hockney has also been felicitated by various institutions for his contributions towards art, which includes an honor by the monarch 'Queen Elizabeth'. Quite a few exhibitions were organized as a mark of tribute to the artist's works, where many patrons of art got to witness his creativity. He continues to be an inspiration to many painters even today
