Pablo Picasso and David Hockney are acknowledged as two of the greatest draughtsmen and printmakers of the Twentieth Century. The Alan Cristea Gallery is holding a major survey comparing and contrasting their graphic work.
Picasso is responsible for some of the most enduring images in artistic practice. In lithography, etching and linocut, he was in every sense of the word a master printmaker, utilising each medium to its greatest effect. He was also a great influence on Hockney and the exhibition concentrates on works that have defined both artists’ careers.
