David Hockney ~ Poolside Revolutionist
Episode 177
David Hockney has spent a lifetime looking. At people, at landscapes, at the way light bounces off water, at the possibilities of paint, pencil, and pixels. Few artists have ever been so restless, so endlessly curious. And yet, his journey—the journey that took him from a working-class childhood in Bradford to the sun-drenched swimming pools of California and back to the wild, rolling landscapes of Yorkshire—is one of both movement and return.
This is not just the story of an artist. It is the story of a boy sketching on the streets of post-war England, dreaming of a world bigger than the one he was born into. It is the story of a student in 1960s London, pushing against the limits of what art could be. It is the story of a man who found creative freedom in Los Angeles, who captured love and longing in bold, clean lines, and who, even after heartbreak and loss, never stopped painting, never stopped seeing.
His work is instantly recognizable—bright, playful, alive—but beneath the color is a deeper truth: a man who has spent decades obsessing over how we look at the world. And in doing so, he has changed the way we see it.
This is the story of David Hockney.
