Who painted "A Bigger Splash"?
A Bigger Splash is a large pop art painting by British artist David Hockney. Measuring 242.5 centimetres (95.5 in) by 243.9 centimetres (96.0 in), it depicts a swimming pool beside a modern house, disturbed by a large splash of water created by an unseen figure who has apparently just jumped in from a diving board.
It was painted in California between April and June 1967, when Hockney was teaching at the University of California, Berkeley. Jack Hazan's fictionalised 1974 biopic, A Bigger Splash, concentrating on the breakup of Hockney's relationship with Peter Schlesinger, was named after the painting.

Bloody ridiculous the prices people pay for rubbish!! Unmade beds, paintings that 3 yr old could do? My theory is that people don’t say what they really mean about some art for fear of being labelled a philistine by arty fools!
