David Hockney, Artistic Titan, Passes at 88

David Hockney, the legendary artist whose sun-drenched California pools and vibrant brushstrokes defined an era, has died at 88. Born in England, he became a global icon by capturing the light and joy of Southern California — then reinvented himself with landscapes from Yorkshire and France. His work, beloved by millions, broke auction records and radiated pure pleasure. With round glasses, blond hair, and a fearless eye for beauty, he was a cultural force even before turning 30 — and his legacy, as vivid as his paintings, will shine for generations.
