Eure Schwarmintelligenz ist gefragt: In einem Interview, das David Hockney 2012 der Zeit gab, hat er in einer Antwort behauptet, Henri Matisse hätte einmal den angeblich berühmten Ausspruch "Zwei Kilo Blau sind blauer als ein Kilo Blau", getan. Ich konnte bei einer längeren Recherche im Internet aber (bisher) keinen Beleg für ein solches Zitat von Matisse finden. War das nun ein Scherz von David Hockney, oder gibt es diesen Ausspruch von Matisse wirklich?

R.I.P. David Hockney (1937-2026)
Today brought sad news of the death of artist David Hockney at the age of 88. Hockney was one of the leaders in the pop art movement, which involved assimilating and distilling ideas from popular culture and his career spanned painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and stage design. The last exhibition I saw by him consisted of wonderful drawings done on an IPad. That was about 15 years ago; he remained remarkably active and productive well into old age.
Throughout his career, Hockney’s work was often inspired by his fascination with light, especially its interplay with water, as well as his unique sense of space and unusual use of colour. His most famous early expressions of these were realised in California, where he became obsessed with the bright sunshine and the plethora of swimming pools.
As Hockney’s fame grew his work became very collectible, commanding huge prices at auction, so much of it ended up in private collections. This large-scale work, A Bigger Splash, painted in 1967, followed a smaller painting, The Splash (1966). The earlier work fetched around $30M at auction and is in a private collection, but A Bigger Splash can be seen at Tate Britain. The spare composition and distinctive palette are his instantly recognisable trademarks.

Today, #ArtThisHouse celebrates the interiors of #DavidHockney, who passed away at 88. While far from gothic, his work absolutely changed how we think of spaces, seeing, and art in general. His absolute refusal to use one- (or even two) point perspective give his interiors a complexity that comes from not putting the viewer in a central space.
This is important, because most representational painting assumes a single, stable point of view.

David Hockney used his art to experiment with our perception of space and time. In 1994 he delivered a beautiful lecture at Caltech describing his process.

I was lucky, because there have been several great exhibitions of David Hockney in Paris in the last few years.
In the first picture there's this house where he lived, that I really like.
The second is one of his homosexuel pieces, years before his country would pass a decriminalization act.
I'm sorry to hear that he passed away.

#DavidHockney, iconic British #artist known for his colorful landscapes & pool scenes, dies at 88
Historian Simon Schama said it’s no mystery why his work is so enduringly appealing.
“His work is admired — loved is not too strong a word — by the millions who, worldwide, flock to see it because it presupposes an expectation of pleasure,” Schama wrote in an essay accompanying a 2025 #Hockney exhibition in Paris.

I'm absolutely GUTTED to hear #artist #DavidHockney's time is up. He's been an inspirational figure in my life.
In 2012 we did a tour of East Yorkshire, looking for some of the 'ordinary' landscapes he painted. Here's just one.
"End Bossiness Soon"
THANK YOU for being you!
