David Hockney, the British artist known for his vibrant paintings of swimming pools, landscapes, and portraits, has died at 88. He passed away peacefully at home, according to his representatives, after a career spanning more than six decades.
Hockney's death marks the loss of one of contemporary art's most influential figures. His relentless reinvention of subject and technique, from sun-drenched California pools to digital iPad drawings, reshaped how modern life is depicted in art, cementing his legacy as a chronicler of the visual world.
