David Hockney: Six Tales from the Brothers Grimm (Community)

Location:Bishop's Stortford Museum

Time:10:00:00 to 17:00:00

A unique opportunity to see a major touring exhibition in the Thorleybourne Gallery.

In this exhibition of etchings illustrating the six fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, Hockney has given each fairy tale his own quirky and often humorous interpretation. Rather than illustrating the stories literally, he has chosen vivid images to encapsulate a mood or detail. Some of the tales are familiar, like Rapunzel and Rumpelstilzchen; others, such as Old Rinkrank, Fundevogel and The Little Sea Hare are little known.

The 39 etchings were drawn directly onto copper plates by Hockney between May and November 1969 (a decade in which etching featured strongly for Hockney).
