Original Etchings by David Hockney: Six Fairy Tales From The Brothers Grimm

Jun 04, 2011 - Aug 28, 2011
An important contributor to the Pop art movement of the 1960s, David Hockney is considered one of the most influential British artists of the twentieth century. Hockney takes a contemporary and often humorous approach in a series of 39 etchings created to illustrate and honor the popular children's tales collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The etchings pay homage to earlier illustrations by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, but focus more on Hockney's imaginative response to the text rather than strict interpretations of the narratives. Organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA. Curated by Robert Flynn Johnson.

Accompanying the Hockney exhibition is Rebound: A Survey of Contemporary California Book Art.
At a time when mainstream publishing houses are questioning the very need for books published in traditional, physical formats, artists who create books continue to creatively push the limits of the genre. Made primarily by Bay Area artists, the books included in Rebound survey a variety of formats and display a wide-range of processes that currently interest the contemporary artist engaged in making artists' books. Curated by Simon Blattner.
