David Hockney
(1955)
 

In 1953, Hockney enters Bradford School of Art, a small institution where the focus is on traditional drawing and figurative work. Over the next four years, he develops beyond drawing and studying to become a commercial artist, realising that painting is what most deeply engages him.
