A Rake's Progress: 14 plates
A suite of fourteen etchings created by David Hockney, employing sugar-lift aquatint techniques in a striking palette of black and red on Crisbrook Royal Hotpress paper. Inspired by William Hogarth's eighteenth-century narrative series of the same name, Hockney reinterprets the moral tale through the lens of his own experiences as a young artist arriving in New York City in the early 1960s. The works showcase Hockney's masterful draftsmanship and wit, combining the expressive qualities of etching and aquatint to create a deeply personal yet universally resonant visual story.
