A consistent theme in Hockney's artwork is swimming pools:

A Bigger Splash (you've probably seen this one somewhere):



Day Pool (wish this one was bigger):

Lots of interesting stuff in here. My favorite artist of any period is Diego Rivera. I think he can cover all aspects of painting so well and I could not choose just one so here is his Complete Works to check out. My favorite is The Flower Seller/El Vendedor De Alcatraces from 1942. I love his choice of color always and he can paint abstract or traditional so very well.
