David Hockney was born in England in 1937. His work is recognized around the world, and started a huge trend in the art world for collage of photographs. He would use tons of polariod photographs and combine them to create a scene looking like a snapshot of a memory. Combining the photographs makes the overall image look a bit distorted, as memories often are. After using straight photographs in these collages, he began combining other media like acrylics.
