David Hockney RIP

I loved his work. But I’m afraid my first thought was that I hope they put a packet of cigarettes in his coffin. When my parents died within a few weeks of each other there were certain things that I wanted them to depart this world with ( my dad had his cap and scarf) and my biggest regret was not putting a packet of Woodbines in mums coffin. I planned to go to Saltaire one year only to realise that his work was on tour but there was an exhibition of some of his work at a local gallery which I was able to go to.

A great loss. Brilliant artist

A light went out in the art world today but at least his legacy lives on.
RIP
David Hockney

We went to Saltaire for the first time last year. I could have spent the weekend there! I came home with one of David Hockney’s prints, of a garden pond.

He seemed such a sweet guy, with his enthusiasm and modesty and I loved his colourful fashion sense!

A big hero of mine art wise and local to my childhood places and his wonderful, wonderful art work, and work for gay people.

RIP your legacy will never die.

I liked that he never tried to 'gentrify' his Yorkshire accent.

An innovative artist ,who will never be forgotten.
Thank you ,.David .
RIP .

Just saw this

I went to Saltaire to see his work, also to York when ' Bigger Trees near Warter' was there. It was magnificent. In his later years he took great inspiration from the wonderful landscape of East Yorkshire. (Sorry, I'm not supposed to praise my home county. My brother says we should keep it secret or it will be overrun by visitors.)
