Every success story has a beginning.
The roots of an artist begin growing long before they are well known in their field. For David Hockney, the wait was roughly 20 years before he had reached international success, a comparatively short wait. David Hockney was born in Bradford, England on July 9 1937. He has studied at many schools including the Bradford School of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. He has not only created paintings and photographs, but has taught at many universities throughout the United States, including the University of Colorado and the University of California, Berkeley.
