- Legendary Artist David Hockney passes away.
- Remembering his vibrant, iconic paintings.
- Our thoughts on his incredible legacy.
We just got some really sad news, friends. The art world feels a little less bright today. David Hockney, the incredible British artist, has passed away.
He was 88 years old. What a life. What an artist.
You definitely know his work. Think of those famous, sun-drenched pool paintings. The ones that just make you want to jump in! Like ‘The Splash’ or ‘Pool with Two Figures’.
His art always had such a unique, vibrant vibe. All those brilliant blues. The bright yellows. They really captured a sunny, almost dream-like aesthetic of California life.
News first came from the French press. Then his publicist confirmed it with the BBC and others. A quiet exit for someone who made such a big visual noise.
Our Take

Even when life gets complicated, his paintings remind us to find beauty and color in the everyday. It’s hard to imagine modern art without his distinctive touch.
