David Hockney, the British painter who gave Los Angeles a visual consciousness it did not know it lacked, died on June 13 at the age of 88. For more than six decades, he pursued a single animating question — how do we truly see? — and in answering it, he transformed swimming pools, palm trees, and California light into a grammar of perception that outlasted any individual canvas. His passing closes not merely a career but an entire philosophical era in modern art, one in which seriousness and joy were never considered opposites.
