DAVID HOCKNEY'S "GRIMMS FAIRY TALES"
PRESENTED AT CRYSTAL BRIDGES, MASSEY
c. David Hockney
|
The exhibition tour of David Hockney's GRIMMS FAIRY TALES began last fall with a presentation in Bentonville, Arkansas, at the Crystal Bridges, Massey Gallery. This is the last show in this space before of the grand opening of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in the Fall of 2011.
David Hockney had always loved Grimm's Fairy Tales and had read all 220 of them. He also admired earlier illustrations to them by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac. In 1969 he decided to make his own images. In this exhibition of 39 etchings illustrating the 6 fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, Hockney has given each fairy tale his own 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.
Upcoming venues include the Sonoma Vallery Museum of Art, Sonoma, CA, and the Maryhill Museum of Art, Goldendale, WA. Dates available through 2014.

"THREE DECADES OF MEXICAN PRINTMAKING:
FROM THE KYRON ARCHIVES 1972-2004"
EXHIBITION TO BE PRESENTED IN HONDURAS
KYRON is a lithographic workshop established in Mexico City in 1972, by Andrew Vlady and Beatriz S. de Vlady. For more than thirty years, under the aesthetic leadership of master lithographer Andrew Vlady, Kyron welcomed some of the most distinguished Mexican and Latin American artists as well as emerging artists, many of whom returned over a period of years to produce works that represent significant creative development and thematic variation. Andrew Vlady‘s vision for the Kyron workshop from the beginning was to enable a broad community of printmakers to sustain and continue the long tradition of printmaking in Mexico.
The exhibition is being presented by LTE at the Museum of National Identity in Tegucigalpa, Honduras from May 19th to August 21st 2011. It is comprised of 60 prints by 17 artists who worked at Kyron, including Leonora Carrington, Alfredo Castañeda, Alejandro Colunga, Francisco Corzas, José Luis Cuevas, Mario Martín Del Campo, Maximino Javier, Armando Morales, Rufino Tamayo, Roger von Gunten, Rodolfo Nieto, Francisco Toledo, Fernando García Ponce, Lucia Maya, Alfredo Sosabravo, Remigio Valdés de Hoyos and Francisco Zúñiga. It will be available for future presentations in the US after the Honduras exhibition.
