Short Bio…I promise • born in 1937 • student in the Royal College of Art • achieved international success by the time he was in his mid-20s • His early paintings, often almost jokey in mood, gained him a reputation of leading Pop artist, although he himself rejected the label • By 1961 he had done his first Tea Paintings and Love Paintings, painted compositions consisting of consumer goods images and psychograms. More than any others, these pictures showed his proximity to Pop Art. • He Taught at University of Iowa, University of Colorado, and the University of California, Berkeley • He’s had numerous exhibitions around the world • In the 1980s he has experimented much with photography, creating what are called joiners http://www.humanitiesweb.org/cgi-bin/human.cgi?s=g&p=c&a=b&ID=232 http://mirror.oir.ucf.edu/wm/paint/auth/hockney/ Pop Art: David Hockney
