Key Takeaways

David Hockney and swimming pools are practically synonymous. The British artist moved to Los Angeles in 1964, seeking to escape the greyness of post-war England in favour of the sharp light and shadows of Hollywood. He found an abundance of sunshine, and enchanting turquoise pools, which have figured as a central motif in his art since.
