Tate Britain is giving Hockney a major retrospective, it includes around 250 works - from oil and acrylic paintings to sketches on an iPad.STORY-LINE:Sunbaked Los Angeles swimming pools and rolling Yorkshire hills, the unmistakable work of British artist David Hockney is in town.For curators of this major retrospective - claimed to be the most extensive yet - the 79-year-old is an innovator whose 60-year career has taken in sketching, painting, printmaking, photography and digital drawing on smartphones and tablets. Presented in chronological order, the exhibit goes from Hockney's appearance on the public stage as a student in 1961, to new paintings of the artist's Los Angeles home and garden from 2016.\"Hockney is one of the great British artists even though he's an international figure, maybe spent more time in America than in Britain,\" says curator Chris Stephens.\"And it's incredibly exciting to see, brought together for the first time, works that we've seen in recent years in a continuous thread, linked back to these great iconic pictures of the 60s and 70s that I've only seen many of them as postcards.\"Hockney has spent much of his life in California, but is one of Britain's best-known living artists.In the 1960s, he left grey Britain for southern California and strove to capture the intense LA light and the rippling surface of swimming pools in paintings like \"A Bigger Splash.\"But in the early 2000s, he looked afresh at the fields and forests of Yorkshire.This series of exuberant landscape paintings combine bold colour with minute attention to the texture of snow on a hillside or blossom on a hawthorn hedge. \"In the future, when we look back retrospectively, I think we'll be still basking in the sunshine of his colours, in the very unusual perspective that he manages to achieve, and the fact that he's opening our eyes to the fact that Hollywood can be as glamorous as Yorkshire,\" says art critic Estelle Lovatt.The exhibit shows how in recent years Hockney has experimented with various new technologies.There's the four-minute-long 'The Four Seasons', it is 36 digital videos synchronised and presented across four walls.Hockney made the artwork by fixing a number of cameras to the outside of a vehicle, then driving along a quiet Yorkshire road.Hockney's iPad drawings fill the final room of the exhibit, which contains some 250 works in all: drawings, paintings in acrylic and oil, photo collages and videos. \"I think David right from the beginning has been fascinated with finding new ways to make a picture,\" says Stephens.\"So, early at the Royal College he started making etchings, because he said he couldn't afford canvases. \"And so his etchings are some of the most innovative known. And all through his career his engaged with something new. \"So, when sophisticated colour photocopies came in, he started making prints with a photocopier, feeding the sheet through so you get these layered images. \"When faxes came in, he started sending pictures to friends by fax. And then of course, when the iPhone and iPad came along he started making drawings - initially just to send to people and then later presenting them in exhibitions as they are here.\"The show, which runs to 29 May, is already the fastest-selling in Tate Britain's history. It moves on to the Pompidou Center in Paris from 21 June to 23 October, and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art from November to February.Alongside the artistic journey, the exhibition charts how a gay, working-class youth from the unfashionable north of England went from outsider to national treasure. \"He's considered to be Britain's greatest because he is Britain's greatest artist,\" says Lovatt.\"He just uses the canvas, he uses colour, he uses the camera, he uses film in the most exceptional and imaginable ways. \"And he has this great imagination and this great power to put on 2D what is actually 3D. \"And he confuses us, and he plays with us, and he cajoles with us, and he wants us to step through the canvas with him or through the photograph with him. We are part of the artwork.\"'David Hockney' runs at Tate Britain art museum 9 February to 29 May 2017.London, UK - 6 February 20171.
