    Sad news to hear of the passing of one of Bradford's most distinguished and famous people

    He still has family in Idle.

    Deepest condolences to his family and friends

    Very sad indeed.

    Fantastic artist. I loved the way he embraced the iPad in later life.

    RIP.
    Never saw the attraction in his art though tbh. To me a lot looked like it was done by a 4 or 5 year old.

    Used to be the same until I actually saw his stuff at the Mill. Sketching s are amazing and when you see his stuff exhibited it showed what an incredible talent he had

    Which one? There have been numerous Hockney exhibitions at Salts Mill over the years.

    Have visited a friend for many years in Bridlington who lived a few houses away from him. He had an unfortunate incident there 2013.
    I personally liked his art and visited some of his exhibitions including London and West Yorkshire. Gifted.
