Dans la vie de David Hockney
La vie entière1963–1964
Moving to Los Angeles
Hockney moves from Britain to Los Angeles, in 1964 by some accounts, in 1963 by others; the move is attributed to a more liberal political climate. There he is inspired to paint a series of swimming pools in vibrant acrylic, then a comparatively new medium.
summer 1966
Meeting Peter Schlesinger
While teaching at UCLA, Hockney meets Peter Schlesinger, an art student who poses for paintings and drawings, and the two become romantically involved.
1966–1978
Stage designer: “Ubu Roi” and the Glyndebourne operas
Hockney’s first stage designs are for “Ubu Roi” at London’s Royal Court Theatre (1966), followed by Stravinsky’s “The Rake’s Progress” (1975) and “The Magic Flute” (1978) for the Glyndebourne Festival Opera. It is the start of the opera work that will go on in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and London.

Double portraits of friends, lovers and relatives
From 1968, and for the next few years, Hockney paints portraits and double portraits of friends, lovers and relatives just under life-size, in a realistic style that adroitly captures the likenesses. He returns to the portrait throughout his career, creating over 300 self-portraits.
