British-born artist David Hockney’s great affection for the city of Los Angeles, his home since the 1960s, is evident in the many works that draw upon its cultural iconography: luxurious swimming pools, sun-drenched landscapes, and handsome young men at play. Painted from memory in just a few weeks, “Mulholland Drive: The Road to the Studio” (1980), the largest of Hockney’s canvases, vividly captures the quintessential Los Angeles activity: driving. #lacma #DavidHockney #painting #MulhollandDrive
