David Hockney, the acclaimed British artist, has died aged 88. 
Hockney was born in the north of England, but lived much of his life in Southern California. 
His paintings of pools shimmering in the Los Angeles sunshine became icons of 20th century art. 
Later in life, he returned to Europe, finding renewed inspiration in the wooded hills of his native county of Yorkshire, and in the fields and trees of France's Normandy region. 
He became one of the UK's most treasured artists, his work selling for record prices at auction. 
Hockney's publicist says he died on Thursday, a few weeks short of his 89th birthday.
