We will miss David Hockney

The world has lost one of the great figurative painters of the twentieth century, and one of its most influential Pop artists. Featured here, David Hockney’s 2020 iPad drawing “10th September 2020,” from a series made in his later adopted home of Normandy, France. “I even caught the new moon,” he says of this work, in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist. “The last full moon was a fantastic moon, bigger and brighter than anything, and it cast shadows on the grass. And I got that down. I woke up at 4 A.M. for a pee, saw it out of the window, grabbed the iPad and drew it. Then I went back to bed an hour after drawing it.”
