His art was a feast of unabashed visual pleasure, one long orgy of the gaze, the delighted lifelong epiphany of someone who cherished flowers in a vase and freeways in the sun and thought endlessly about new ways of making pictures of such passing treasures. It didn\u2019t seem to occur to him that the way he saw was revolutionary \u2013 all he cared about was truth. But no one had ever captured the look and feel of the contemporary world with such acceptance before. He has the same simple perfection as the Beatles \u2013 just as they caught the sound of the modern world, he caught its look.<\/p>\n<p>The most revealing fact about Hockney is that he loved LA. Where some might see a moronic inferno, he saw freedom and possibility under an unjudging blue sky. Low-lying houses with patio doors glinting vacantly, tall thin palm trees with tiny heads, the white spume of a diver\u2019s splash \u2013 Hockney\u2019s California is a vision of paradise. He is the Matisse of pop art, A Bigger Splash the 1960s answer to Matisse\u2019s 1904 manifesto for hedonism, Luxe, Calme et Volupt\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/artanddesign\/2026\/jun\/12\/david-hockney-death-tribute-feast-visual-pleasure\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/artanddesign\/2026\/jun\/12\/david-hockney-death-tribute-feast-visual-pleasure\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\">Read More<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/1469404876eb3c6b986496c530831580db6242cf\/210_0_1627_1302\/master\/1627.jpg?width=140&amp;quality=85&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;s=6bdbdb533638ea65f6843520838edd7f\" title=\"\u2018David Hockney caught the look of the modern world\u2019: a tribute to the artist whose work was a feast of visual pleasure\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He was subversive and bold, yet also playful and accepting \u2013 putting the fun into pop art and finding freedom and fulfilment amid the blue skies and pools of California.
