David Hockney, the Bradford-born painter, printmaker, photographer and stage designer, has died at the age of 88.
Widely regarded as one of Britain's most influential creative figures, Hockney rose from his Yorkshire roots to achieve international acclaim during a career spanning more than six decades.
Born in Bradford in 1937, he studied at Bradford School of Art before attending the Royal College of Art in London. He went on to become known for his bold use of colour and distinctive style, producing works that would become some of the most recognisable in modern British art.
Among his best-known creations is A Bigger Splash, while his landscapes inspired by Yorkshire earned widespread praise and attracted audiences from around the world.
These pictures highlight moments from Hockney's life alongside examples of the work that established him as one of the defining artistic voices of his generation.
