David Hockney is loved by many for his ability to touch the ordinary - what the world mostly consists of. He likes to let it float a little, so that we become involved, because Hockney both offers a motif and that we ourselves involve ourselves in processing what is seen.

Here we are back in 1964, when the then 27-year-old David Hockney moved from Britain to sunny California. The American west coast environment inspired him and he painted a long series of pictures of swimming pools with or without people, often in delicate pink, light blue or bright green shades.

In 2007, Louisiana acquired David Hockney's giant painting A Closer Grand Canyon (1998), consisting of 60 smaller canvases assembled into one large image – a work that has since become an absolute centerpiece in the collection.

David Hockney currently resides in Normandy, where he constantly experiments with materials and captures local atmospheres with his fantastic line and sure sense of color.

The poster has a glossy surface.
