~ Sacramento, CA - On June 12, 2026, Governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom expressed their condolences on the passing of renowned multi-media artist David Hockney. Hockney was a member of the California Hall of Fame and known for his vibrant and colorful works that captured the essence of his subjects and landscapes.
In a joint statement, the Governor and First Partner described Hockney as "immensely creative, curious, and generous with his art and his joy." They also highlighted his influence in both the 20th and 21st centuries, inspiring artists and viewers alike.
Originally from Britain, Hockney made Los Angeles his home and was known for incorporating the California sunshine into his art. The Governor and First Partner noted that he "soaked up" this warmth from the state and gave it back to the world tenfold.
