Prosecutor of Matisse and Picasso art, inspired by fauvisme, David Hockney created a unique universe at the same time complexe and next to people. His style, constructed during over 60 years of painting, is joyful but also enigmatic, leaving the possibility of escaping the reality and imagining a story. His frames are true narrations and can be read as books. From neocubisme to ultra-graphic design, the sunny Californian univers of the painter is now exhibited at Centre Pompidou until the 23 ofoctober.
