David Hockney: Art's great innovator whose vivid paintings made him a household name

David Hockney, the British artist who died at 88, was a genius in practically every medium, from painting to iPads. Born in Bradford in 1937, he revolutionized art in the 1960s and became Britain's favorite artist. In 2018, one of his swimming pool paintings sold for nearly £70 million at auction, a record for a living artist. He followed the rule: 'Paint the things you love'.
