Hockney - A Rake's Progress

Hogarth’s classic morality tale gets a Pop Art makeover by renowned and influential artist David Hockney. David Hockney’s A Rake’s Progress was inspired by the works of the same name by William Hogarth who painted them in 1735. Hogarth’s sequence of eight pictures show the downfall of a rich young man seduced by the charms of London and corrupted by its vices. Set in New York in the early 1960s, Hockney’s A Rake’s Progress is an autobiographical journey of self-discovery. All eight prints are from our own collection at Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives and will be displayed in advance of our major William Hogarth exhibition in May.
