Illustrations for Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm
David Hockney created 39 etchings for the series ‘Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm’. The etching plates were hand-drawn by Hockney in London in 1969, proofed by Maurice Payne and printed by Piet Clement.
The series was published by the Petersburg Press in association with the Kasmin Gallery in 1970.
These are etchings from an early printer’s proof issued to Rudolf Rieser, the binder who created the leather bindings for the book. In the published book edition all the half page plates were printed on leaves with text, but in this early proof all the half page plates have been printed without the text.
