David Hockney’s East Yorkshire roots

Hidden East Yorkshire

Available for over a year

David Hockney’s connection to East Yorkshire ran deeper than painting alone. Family roots, early work, and the landscape shaped his identity and vision. It became both a place of belonging and a quiet creative refuge. After a chance meeting at a concert, East Yorkshire historians David and Susan Neave struck up a friendship with the artist during his time in Bridlington and went on to uncover his family history for him. Produced and edited by Gill Sennett. Picture Credit: Getty Images.
