Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert is bringing together a number of early works by David Hockney, some of which have not been shown together since the 1960s, with the In the Mood for Love: Hockney in London, 1960–1963 exhibition. The show is the first in-depth exploration of this pivotal period in Hockney’s career, following his breakthroughs at the Royal College of Art. The paintings and related works on paper on display, which include ‘The First Love Painting’, ‘Love Painting – Shame’, ‘The Cha Cha that was Danced in the Early Hours of 24th March 1961’, ‘Life Painting for Myself’ and ‘The Salesman’, show the development of Hockney’s visual language and his exploration of his sexuality, at a time when homosexuality was still criminalised in Britain.
