David Hockney - Little People Big Dreams

Part of the critically acclaimed series of children's books, Little People, Big Dreams, this book tells the story of the life of world-renowned David Hockney - the English artist who is also a beloved part of Louisiana's collection. As a young man, Hockney attended art school and worked day and night to hone his drawing skills, sold his first painting as a student, and within just five years had already had a sold-out solo exhibition.
