David Hockney, painter of California pool scenes, dies at 88

David Hockney was immensely creative, curious, and generous with his art, inspiring countless artists and viewers over the decades. A British transplant to Los Angeles, he soaked up the California sunshine and gave that warmth back to the world tenfold. He will be deeply missed.
