It was a great honor to interview David Hockney at his LA studio a decade ago. Two pieces came from it, for Esquire and for Harpers.

Fantastic piece, Sanj! You captured his essence so beautifully and I love that you shared a smoke with him. What a rare spirit he was.

I love that he loved LA.

A wonderful read, thank you. The world feels a lot emptier without him.
