Hockney

While many today lament that iPhones and iPads have become almost extra limbs, for Hockney they were a breakthrough for his art.

Hockney saw the object that would become the bane of office secretaries everywhere as bringing him closer to his art.

While there, Hockney became not only enthralled by Chinese drawing materials but also techniques.

Hockney is also refreshingly genuine when it comes to revealing another source of inspiration—other artists.
