I David Hockneys liv
Hela livet1966–1978
Stage designer: “Ubu Roi” and the Glyndebourne operas
Hockney’s first stage designs are for “Ubu Roi” at London’s Royal Court Theatre (1966), followed by Stravinsky’s “The Rake’s Progress” (1975) and “The Magic Flute” (1978) for the Glyndebourne Festival Opera. It is the start of the opera work that will go on in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and London.
1973
Working with Picasso’s printer Aldo Crommelynck
Hockney begins a fruitful collaboration with Aldo Crommelynck, Picasso’s preferred printer: in his atelier he adopts the master’s trademark sugar lift, as well as his system of imposing a wooden frame onto the plate to ensure colour separation. Their early work together includes “Artist and Model” (1973–1974) and “Contrejour in the French Style” (1974).
1974
The relationship with Gregory Evans begins
Hockney met Gregory Evans in 1971; in 1974 they begin a decade-long relationship, and in 1976 Evans moves with him to the US. Later they remain business partners, with Evans managing the David Hockney Studio.
1974
Jack Hazan’s film “A Bigger Splash”
Jack Hazan makes a biopic of Hockney, “A Bigger Splash”, named after his 1967 pool painting of the same name.
