I found this Context Conversation to new an excellent introduction to painter David Hockney. It spans his life from an English lad, to America, to Paris, to England and finally back to France. Along the way you learn about the artists which influenced his work and many of the people in his life. It makes me want to visit museums now holding his work. Highly recommended!
