David Hockney RIP

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.)

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

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

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.

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

A great loss. Brilliant artist

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.

I hadn't realised he had been awarded the Légion d'Honneur. There is a lovely obituary in the Ouest France. The people of Calvados loved having him living there as a permanent resident in Normandy.
I understand he had gone back to London this year.

I, too, love his work. We went to an interactive exhibition at the Saatchi gallery some years ago and enjoyed it very much.
A long life, well lived.

Wonderful painter, I love his work, especially his swimming pool paintings and particularly the one of the fashion designer Ossie Clark sitting with cat on his lap and his wife standing, textile designer, Celia Birtwell. Both fashion trailblazers of their day. Names that will no doubt resonate with the demographic here on GN

Remarkable man. RIP David Hockney

I loved seeing his paintings at Salts Mill in Saltaire. He was a colourful character as was his art and will be much missed.

Such a variety of styles and media he used. Loved his work. The amazing colours. I have a print of The Bigger Splash. He was lovely man apparently too. One of my favourite places is Salts Mill in Saltaire.

The one I like best of his was at the RA exhibition (2014??) I have never er seen it reproduced anywhere.

Sorry of course it was the RA not the NPG.

I loved every second.

Half time? Too much football chat. At the interval ( which may or may not have been half time)

Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy and the Splash pictures were part of my late teens and twenties.

I went to see the Glyndebourne Opera production 'The Rakes Progress' in 1975. David Hockney designed the scenery and costumes, they were stunning.

RIP DH

Oh yes I’d forgotten - I saw that at a live outdoor screening in the courtyard at Somerset House. There was an interview with at half time.

That's a real shame. His art was so bright and affirming. RIP

Years ago I had some work very briefly exhibited next to his. It was just happenstance as not the same exhibition. Both at Salts Mill.

His early work does make me feel young again.
Happy days.

Just searched 'Hockney' on X/Twitter. Most who have posted, have included some amazing paintings of his

He certainly made a big splash!

Lovely Sago - the colours and perspective

Just arrived at our Holliday let to hear the news.
It is an homage to Hockney!
We have walked the wolds and love recognising the art, I also saw his exhibition at the NPG it was wonderful.

No artist has given me so much pleasure.

Here is my favourite of all the DH prints I have in our holiday let.
