Latchis to screen film on artist David Hockney

BRATTLEBORO — Latchis Arts' popular “Exhibition on Screen” series continues the weekend of Jan. 27 and 28 with a look at the life and work of one of the most acclaimed living artists, David Hockney.

David Hockney at the Royal Academy of Arts: A Bigger Picture 2012 & 82 Portraits and One Still Life 2016 will be shown at the Latchis Theatre, 50 Main St., on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 27 and 28, at 8 p.m.

Featuring never-before-seen interviews with Hockney and behind-the-scenes access to Hockney's wildly popular exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts, this film celebrates the life and work of the man widely considered to be Britain's most popular artist.

Hockney is a global sensation, with exhibitions in London, Paris - and currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York - attracting millions of visitors. This latest film allows close-up access to this 21st-century master.

Featuring in-depth interviews with Hockney, the film offers rare insights into the man behind such iconic works as “A Bigger Splash” and “A Closer Grand Canyon.”

The film also provides a rare chance to explore two of Hockney's landmark exhibitions from his late career, guided by the exhibitions' curatorial team and the artist himself. Expert insights from art critics Martin Gayford and Jonathan Jones and curator Edith Devaney round out this unique film.
