David Hockney at LACMA

The amazing David Hockney, now on view at LACMA, 82 portraits and 1 still life. The  82 portraits, of friends and family,  and 1 still life, were started when David Hockney was 77, and took 2 to 3 days, each, to complete. I loved that DH, was so prolific, at age 77.  There is an excellent video, on the LACMA website, that includes an interview, and more photos of this exciting exhibit!
