David Hockney – Set Designer

Summary/Abstract: Zbigniew Mich outlines the work of David Hockney, focusing on the set designs he has created. The author traces Hockney’s first interest in the theater back to a fascination for curtains and mirrors, which made their way into his painting. Mich describes the artist’s approach to the theater and his concept of set design. He takes a look at Hockney’s first designs for Ubu Roi and the operas of Igor Stravinsky, and depicts how he worked with directors, the process of creating sets for opera stagings, the artist’s acquaintance with Andy Warhol, and his ties with other artists who had a major influence on his work.
