Blue Mountains City Art Gallery is one of only two venues in Australia presenting this collection of prints from internationally renowned artist David Hockney.
Drawn from the British Council Collection, David Hockney: Word and Pictures focuses on the four major suites of prints produced by David Hockney over a sixteen year period from 1961 – 1977: A Rake’s Progress; Illustrations for 14 Poems by C.P. Cavafy; Illustrations for Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm, and The Blue Guitar.
United by their reference to historical works of literature and art, these prints were all produced during the first two decades of Hockney’s career when he established his international reputation as a Pop artist.
