The upcoming exhibition, 'In The Mood For Love: Hockney in London, 1960-1963', explores David Hockney's earlier, lesser-known works from his time at the Royal College of Art. Curator Louis Kasmin highlights two main themes: energetic 'Love' paintings that include provocative graffiti and a transition into more figurative representations of significant figures in Hockney's life. The exhibition aims to illuminate Hockney's development and the powerful energy present in these early works, drawing on the legacy of his grandfather, gallerist John Kasmin, who represented the artist for decades.
The show is curated around two main themes encompassing Hockney's energetic love paintings and a more figurative approach highlighting key individuals in his life.
Kasmin explains that these rarely seen works are unbelievably raw and full of extraordinary energy, showcasing Hockney's early development and iconic aura.
