Hockney
Randall Wright
Award for Best Portrait, FIFA 2016
For the first time, David Hockney (b.1937) has given unprecedented access to his personal archive of photographs and films, resulting in a frank and unparalleled visual diary of one of the most important artists of his generation. From the “swinging London” of the 1960s to the thriving New York scene of today, from his years in Los Angeles to his painful memories of the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and ’90s, the film traces the artistic path of this charismatic rebel. Always searching for new ways of seeing, Hockney, at age 77, is still working with the same passion in the studio, seven days a week.
