David Hockney

Fundacion Canal, Madrid

Six tales by the Brothers Grimm-popular ones such as Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin, together with the lesser-known Old Rinkrank, Fundevogel, The Little Sea Hare and The Boy who Left Home to Learn Fear - were the subjects of etchings by David Hockney, undertaken between May and November 1969 for Grimms' Fairy Tales. Thirty nine of those works, touching on the underlying theme of each tale (courage, freedom or love, for example) are now on display at the Fundacio'n Canal, but rather than illustrate them literally, Hockney chose to capture a mood or a moment. His modern and humorous approach makes many of the images curious and unusual.
