Farewell to David Hockney and Marilyn Monroe at 100
About this episode
The episode reflects on the life and career of David Hockney following his death, alongside a mention of Marilyn Monroe's centenary.
His career spanned London's swinging '60s, the counter-culture of 1970s Los Angeles and the bucolic calm of springtime in Normandy. David Hockney was a master painter of portraits and landscapes, injecting riotous colour into canvases that hang in collections from New York to Tokyo. We take a look back at the career of the British artist following his death at 88 years old.
