The story of David Hockney is a story of passion: passion for seeing, passion for telling, passion for images. But to that must be added a passion for life. Hockney's art is a celebration of being alive. All his images – sometimes tender, as when he draws close friends and family; sometimes playful, as in his paintings of lazy, carefree days by the pool; sometimes awe-inspiring, as in his monumental images of the Grand Canyon – convey what it means to be in the world, to see it, to move in it, to love it.
