A Truly Creative Person Rids Himself from Self Imposed Limitations.

Aesthetics

D. Hockney

Hockney was born in Bradford to Laura and Kenneth Hockney and educated first at Wellington Primary School. After being educated at Wellington Primary School, he then went to Bradford Grammar School, Bradford College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London, where he met R. B. Kitaj. While still a student at the Royal College of Art, Hockney was featured in the exhibition Young Contemporaries—alongside Peter Blake—that announced the arrival of British Pop Art. He became associated with the movement, but his early works also display expressionist elements, not dissimilar to certain works by Francis Bacon. Sometimes, as in We Two Boys Together Clinging(1961), named after a poem by Walt Whitman, these works make reference to his love for men. From 1963, Hockney was represented by the influential art dealer John Kasmin. In 1963 Hockney visited New York, making contact with Andy Warhol. A later visit to California, where he lived for many years, inspired Hockney to make a series of paintings of swimming pools in Los Angeles, using the comparatively new Acrylic medium and rendered in a highly realistic style using vibrant colours. In 1967, his painting, Peter Getting Out Of Nick's Pool, won the John Moores Painting Prize at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. He also made prints, portraits of friends, and stage designs for the Royal Court Theatre, Glyndebourne, La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.

"Seeing The World"

"Man must rise above-to the top of the atmosphere and beyond-for only this will he fully understand the world in which he lives"
-Socrates

In this statement he speaks of how man has to look beyond himself in order to get a true meaning of the world. If you are trapped inside this little box and don't see what is there and your blind to what is true you truly don't understand. Once you open your eyes and look at the world as a whole and all its different situation you will see the true mean of the world we live in.

"The Call"

From the age of nine I have always looked up to those in uniform and i always knew i would follow. My heart had been set out to join adn serve my country with pride, but my mother was so against it because i was her "only son." I under stood how she felt because I would be crushed if i lost her and i know it is worse for her. I tried to move past the military and just follow my passion for computers. I started doing alot with computer and going to summer programs and I just didn't feel the same. So one day i sat my mom down and told her that I couldn't find the joy I got from the military anywhere else i tried so hard and i just could not find it. She responed with a answer that has changed my life for the better. She said she had been seeing me and she was not happy because I was not happy. She poured her heart out and told me that she would be proud for me to service in the military and that i could do what ever made me happy and that would make her happy. The summer after my 11th grade year i went to Boy State not sure if I wanted to go and be there but I went. I found myself that summer one of the JC there was a Marine I told him i wanted to join the serivce just not sure which one i wanted to join. One night after all our stuff we sat down and talked for hours. He basically told me that it is what it is and your are serving your country and you have to be willing to give your life at any giving moment. After that day I was sure I wanted to joina dn it would be either the Marines or the Army. I came home and did my research and found that I was made for the Army and i went to our local recruiting station and got more info. That night i sat my mom down and call my dad and put him on speaker phone and I announced to them that I was going to gone the Army next week. The both were proud of the decision I made and I am now In the Army Reserve and fufilling my dreams.
