DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION \nHockney to Hogarth: A Rake’s Progress.\nExhibiti
 on runs until 3 February 2013.\n\nThe Whitworth has been presented with 
 David Hockney’s entire print series A Rake’s Progress (1961-1963) by the
  Contemporary Art Society. This joins William Hogarth’s eighteenth-centu
 ry series of the same title\, which has been in the Whitworth’s collecti
 on since 1926. To celebrate the coming together of these great works\, t
 his exhibition showcases both versions\, unravelling their tales of tran
 sformation\, youth\, sexual discovery and unrequited love.\n\nCentral to
  Hockney’s story is his first experience of America: as a young\, gay\, 
 northern art student visiting New York in 1961. Exploring the artist’s r
 e-interpretation of Hogarth’s story of influence\, freedom and moral cor
 ruption\, the exhibition examines this pivotal moment in Hockney’s life 
 and practice.\n\nDrawing on themes of American and British cultural exch
 ange\, 1960s attitudes to homosexuality and creative discovery\, Hockney
 ’s A Rake’s Progress is enriched by a selection of wonderfully vibrant p
 aintings produced by the artist between 1960-62. Also on display are sev
 eral candid drawings made during Hockney’s Bradford-based adolescence.\n
