The David Hockney 25 exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation presents an expansive look at Hockney's career over the last 25 years, while also including earlier works that showcase his artistic evolution. The exhibition opens with a moving portrait of his father, setting a tone of personal connection and humanity that resonates through his body of work. Hockney's ability to combine various styles and explore themes of identity, relationships, and nature is evident, making this exhibition a powerful reflection of his passion for art and life.
"The exhibition, David Hockney 25 is the painter's largest to date. While its title indicates a focus on his most recent 25 years of work, it feels like an overview of his whole career."
"Do remember they can't cancel the spring, reads a pink neon sign above the museum's entrance - a hopeful phrase that the English artist David Hockney sent to his friends."
"This work opens the exhibition, whose first two rooms lead viewers through Hockney's quick, and frankly astonishing, evolution as a painter."
"Even as homosexuality was illegal in Britain, Hockney painted relationships between men, showcasing a hedonistic abstraction of male figures merging and indistinct."
