6. David Hockney is one of the most famous British artists of the 20th century who became world-famous as a painter before turning his attention to photography. As a photographer, Hockney’s work is often an odd sort of photomontage, a giant image made up of many smaller photographs.

7. At first glance, Hockney’s photomontages are the kind of things that would make most people go, “Huh.” They kind of look like an amateur photographer’s first attempts to make a panorama by taking multiple photos of the same scene while moving the camera.
