David Hockney at the Royal Academy of Arts

Alternative title
Exhibition on Screen: David Hockney at the Royal Academy of Arts
Synopsis
Using, for the first time ever, Hockney’s personal archive of film and photographs, this documentary chronicles the artist’s vast career, from his early life in working-class Bradford, where his love for pictures was developed through his admiration for cinema, to his relocation to Hollywood, where his lifelong struggle to escape labels (`queer’, ‘working class’, ‘figurative artist’) was fully realised.
