On Christmas Day, it will be 80 degrees in Los Angeles. “It’s an acquired taste, LA. You have to stay a bit. Then, you realize it isn’t all just freeways. There’s the mountains and the plains. I enjoy going up in the mountains. Then you drive back to the nonsense.” The perfect quote about Los Angeles from the legendary artist David Hockney, from our interview in AUTRE’s first glossy issue ever.
