Event Description
The CU Art Museum, the College of Music, and the Center for British and Irish Studies will host a multidisciplinary conference organized by Jeremy Smith, Associate Professor of Musicology, College of Music and Director, Center for British and Irish Studies and Keith Waters, Professor of Music Theory, College of Music, University of Colorado Boulder titled The Rake's Progress: Stravinsky, Hogarth, Hockney, Auden, and Kallman. The conference will take place at the Center for British Studies, fifth floor of Norlin library.
The exhibition Hockney and Hogarth: Selections from the CU Art Museum's Collection of British Art
builds on the remarkable strengths of the CU Art Museum’s collection of
British art and features David Hockney’s first major print series, A Rake’s Progress (1961-63), alongside the 1735 series by William Hogarth that inspired it.
A large selection of additional works from the 119 William Hogarth
engravings included in the CU Art Museum’s permanent collection are also
on view, such as the complete Marriage A-la-Mode and The Four Times of Day series, selections from the Industry and Idleness and The Four Stages of Cruelty series, the plates created for Hogarth’s aesthetic treatise The Analysis of Beauty,
as well as numerous individual prints. Also on view are published
Hogarth works from the Special Collections Department, Norlin Library,
University Libraries as well as a video of the 1975 Glyndebourne
Festival Opera production of Igor Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress,
with stage and costume designs by David Hockney, allowing audiences to
experience a major performance inspired by the similarly titled Hogarth
and Hockney print series.
