Set for Parade By David Hockney

'Set for Parade' is a high quality, rare, offset lithograph from 1980. The original poster was created by Hockney for a show at Andre Emmerich Gallery in New York City. It was part of a series of paintings and drawings of set designs and costumes for three 20th century French works (two operas and a ballet) that were performed at the Metropolitan Opera House under the embracing title 'Parade'. The three names you can see are Erik Satie, Maurice Ravel and Francis Poulenc, the composers of the three works. The ballet, composed by Erik Satie, was first performed in 1917, when the scenery and costumes were designed by Pablo Picasso. Hockney's version is a reworking of the fundamental 1917 designs, with Picasso very much in mind.  'Set for Parade' features in several important published works on David Hockney. Click these words to find similar printsPop Art Rare British Colourful   Click the banner to get it at ONLY: USD120.00
