David Hockney
After decades in sunny California, Hockney returns to the English countryside where he grew up. Instead of swimming pools, now he’s painting the thick woods and green fields of East Yorkshire. And at 72, he’s taken up painting on his iPhone. Kurt meets up with Hockney at New York’s Pace Wildenstein gallery, where his new work is on view through December 24.
