David Hockney Docent Lecture

This docent lecture explores the major art work of David Hockney on display at
de Young Museum from October 26, 2013 to January
20, 2014. An artist long known for engaging with new media to produce his
work—from Polaroid cameras to smart phones—highlights Hockney’s use of
technological tools to produce monumental and deeply-felt representations of the
natural world. Bright landscapes created on iPads, digital films that track the
changing seasons, and massive oil paintings, all display Hockney’s unmatched
curiosity and openness to innovation.
