Farewell to David Hockney and Marilyn Monroe at 100

Cover image: arts24 © FRANCE 24

His career spanned London's swinging '60s, the counter-culture of 1970s Los Angeles and the bucolic calm of springtime in Normandy. David Hockney was a master painter of portraits and landscapes, injecting riotous colour into canvases that hang in collections from New York to Tokyo. We take a look back at the career of the British artist following his death at 88 years old.

We also zoom in on an actress whose name has long been associated with Hollywood glamour, sex appeal and high-profile romances. A century after her birth, Marilyn Monroe's talent and intellect are being re-appraised in a new exhibition in Paris which showcases her rich body of work and her pioneering capacity for reinvention.

Plus, artist Ai Weiwei revisits Claude Monet's waterlilies with a playful, political approach, using 650,000 tiny Lego bricks.

And we learn more about Marseille's first family of photography, as an exhibition highlights the work of the Detaille dynasty.
