Meaning & Analysis

Alecto’s first major publication was A Rake's Progress, David Hockney's semi-autobiographical series inspired by William Hogarth’s 1735 engraving series of the same title. In it, Hockney reimagines the tale of an aristocrat who loses his wealth as a story of a young gay man’s self-discovery in 1960s New York. Each etching in the series is characterised by the distinctive presence of one red-ink element placed against a black-and-white background. An Etching And A Lithograph For Editions Alecto employs this signature feature, juxtaposing a black-and-white image with capital letters rendered in red. As such, the print can be seen to represent the artist’s way of looking back at the beginnings of his career, his first major publication, and early dialogue with Hogarth’s works.
