An amazing life and talent who continually evolved over time, embracing new developments and ideas. Incredibly successful. I have a print of his in my kitchen - it’s black and white and of a couple serving in a fish and chip shop. He drew it for them when he was a poor art student in Bradford and gave it to them in return for the scraps and chips they gave him . I love that story

I love his moody charcoal drawings.
Fabulous!

That is very sad news. I’ve been to several of his exhibitions.

Just arrived at our Holliday let to hear the news.
It is an homage to Hockney!
We have walked the wolds and love recognising the art, I also saw his exhibition at the NPG it was wonderful.

No artist has given me so much pleasure.

Here is my favourite of all the DH prints I have in our holiday let.

Just searched 'Hockney' on X/Twitter. Most who have posted, have included some amazing paintings of his

Years ago I had some work very briefly exhibited next to his. It was just happenstance as not the same exhibition. Both at Salts Mill.

His early work does make me feel young again.
Happy days.

Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy and the Splash pictures were part of my late teens and twenties.

I went to see the Glyndebourne Opera production 'The Rakes Progress' in 1975. David Hockney designed the scenery and costumes, they were stunning.

RIP DH

That's a real shame. His art was so bright and affirming. RIP
