David Hockney: A Life in Art
In a programme first published in 2025, ahead of the opening of his biggest-ever show, David Hockney talks to Katie Razzall about why painting still makes him happy at 87.
David Hockney was one of the world's most successful and influential artists of our time. At 11, he wanted to be an artist. At 87, he was still creating new works - happiest when making 'joyful' art and always innovating with his iPad. His art has sold for millions.
In a film originally broadcast in April 2025, ahead of his biggest show ever opening in Paris, the Bradford-born star talks to Katie Razzall about growing old, a recent visit from the King and his two big loves - smoking and painting.
