Prior to this, an extensive retrospective was prepared by Tate Britain, and RA (the Royal Academy of arts in London) organized an exhibition of his portraits.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Together with physicist Charles M. Falcone, he developed a thesis on the influence of optical devices (camera obscura, camera Lucida, curved mirrors) on the realistic image technique in classical European art. The research was published in 2001 (the book Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters) and sparked a debate in art criticism circles.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Boris" Hockney is the son of a Bradford accountant. My father took evening classes at a local art school in his spare time and, as a Communist sympathizer, dressed in the spirit of Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Imitating his father, David bought things in the same second-hand store "under the Russian peasant", for which he received the nickname "Boris". "My father taught me not to pay attention to what the neighbors say." Mother-Laura Hockney - was a vegetarian (rare at the time) and Methodist, raised children in a religious spirit.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In 1963, Hockney moved from the UK to the US, Los Angeles for a more liberal political climate. A notable representative of pop art in the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential artists of the XX century. One of the 45 Honorees. Since 1968, Hockney began working in a photorealistic style of painting and developed a subtle manner of drawing. But after his passion for stage design, David began working with Polaroids in 1982. In the next 2 years, Hockney created many images, in some cases large — format Polaroid images and photo collages, although this method was created by him a year earlier and named "Joiners".<br>In April 2008, David Hockney gave the Tate gallery in London his largest painting - "Tall trees near Warter" (the size of the canvas — 4.6 by 12 meters). The painting was first exhibited in 2007 at the Royal Academy of art.<br>In November 2018, David Hockney became the most expensive artist alive. His painting entitled "Pool with two figures" sold at the auction of post-war and modern art "Christie" in new York for a record amount-90 million 300 thousand dollars.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Eight times at the Picasso exhibition</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Eight times at the Picasso exhibition in the 80's, David Hockney made photo collages, which he called joiners. «joiners»). The artist cut many Polaroid images of the same object into pieces and recreated the original image in the form of a collage. Sometimes photos could be taken at different times or from different angles, which created a sense of"dynamics of change". Hockney's work, made in the technique of photomontage, is compared to cubism, given the artist's interest in this direction: in 1960, Hockney, according to his own memories, visited the Picasso exhibition at the Tate gallery eight times. In 1985, David Hockney collaborated with Vogue and even made a portrait of Celia Birtwell in the collage technique for the magazine's cover. Hockney argues that cubism never developed properly, since the vast majority perceive it as a style, nothing more.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Bridget's father was a printer, and she was interested in fine art from childhood. Riley received her professional education at the Royal College of art in London. Even then, she preferred monochrome images. After graduation, Bridget had to devote two years to caring for her father, who was seriously injured in a car accident. After his death, she began working as an Illustrator for an advertising Agency. At the same time, the artist began to paint in a technique similar to the work of pointillists. Around 1960, Riley returned to monochrome paintings, but now they consisted of geometric patterns that created the illusion of movement. For several years, she taught painting and design at various educational institutions in the UK. Bridget Riley became widely known for her black-and-white work, but as early as 1967, she began to explore color effects. The artist's work was influenced by a trip to Africa in the early 80's, after which she came up with her own "Egyptian palette" to convey the spirit of this country in her paintings. Throughout her career, Riley has created several murals for major art institutions, including the Tate gallery and the National gallery in London.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>British artist Bridget Riley broke into the "swinging" 1960s with compositions that made the audience's eyes ripple, dizzy, and even slightly nauseated – like when rolling on the sea. Some claimed that they experienced sensations similar to those experienced during a skydive.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Margaret Vivienne Calvert OBE RDI (born 1936) is a British typographer and graphic designer who, with colleague Jock Kinneir, designed many of the road signs used throughout the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies, and British overseas territories, as well as the Transport font used on road signs, the Rail Alphabet font used on the British railway system, and an early version of the signs used in airports.

         <description><![CDATA[<div> In 1957, Kinneir was appointed head of signs for Britain's roads. He then hired Calvert to redesign the road sign system and she came up with simple, easy-to-understand pictograms, including the signs for 'men at work' (a man digging), 'farm animals' (based on a cow named Patience that lived on a farm near to where she grew up), and 'schoolchildren nearby' (a girl leading a boy by the hand), using the European protocol of triangular signs for warnings and circles for mandatory restrictions.The Worboys Committee was formed by the British government in July 1963 to review signage on all British roads. <br>In addition to her road signs, Calvert has designed commercial fonts for Monotype, including the eponymous Calvert font, a slab serif design which she created in 1980 for use on the Tyne and Wear Metro.</div>]]></description>
