Early Hockney

DAVID HOCKNEY: THE COMPLETE EARLY ETCHINGS 1961-64
At Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert

“I started doing graphic work in 1961 because I’d run out of money and I couldn’t buy any paint, and in the graphic department they gave you the materials for free. So I started etching, and the first I did was Myself and My Heroes. My heroes were Walt Whitman and Gandhi. There was a little quote from each of them, but for myself I couldn’t find anything – I hadn’t made any quotes – so it just said, ‘I am twenty-three years old and wear glasses,’ the only interesting thing I could think to say about myself.”
-- David Hockney, from David Hockney by David Hockney, 1976 (Thames & Hudson)

Out of Focus

A dizzyingly diverse slice of Charles Saatchi's contemporary photograpy collection.

Weekend

Andrew Haigh's study of a temporary relationship is more sophisticated than most gay cinema. This honest film is sure to speak to you, and deeply, about aspects of your own life and loves.

À la Galerie Perrotin

Parisian guerilla photographer JR aims to put a human face to the most impoverished areas of the world.

J'aime

Le bar du Comptoir Général en Paris. A pesar de la lenta cola para entrar!

'Bodies in the barrels'

Powerfully directed, intense, disturbing, atmospheric serial crime drama.

Nature versus nurture

lda Swinton leads an excellent cast in a thoughtful and deeply disturbing adaptation of Lionel Shriver's novel 'We need to talk about Kevin'

Phyllida Barlow: RIG

Invading every corner of Hauser&Wirth's Piccadilly branch , her new sculptures are in constant play with the space and the viewer. Highly enjoyable.

Tyrannosaur

Paddy Considine's accomplished debut is a painfully violent slice of British realism. Very powerful film with excellent performances.

Cumber Sands

For the las few days we have a real warm summer weather and today we enjoy this beautiful sandy beach surrounded by dramatic dunes. I even had a swim!

London Moonwalk

Really moving seeing from the bus at 4.00 in the morning that wonderful people walking with such an enthusiasm and energy. 5,000 participants in decorated bras to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer causes. Well done ladies and gens!!!

Seductive Compositions

On its closing day I managed to arrive to the Whitechapel Gallery to see this captivating exhibition. Master collagist John Stezaker matches nature to people with disturbing precision.

Turning the World Upside Down

Besides enjoying his giant curved mirror sculptures and the illusory distortions created, Kapoor provides us with a chance to marvel at the beauty of the park.

Just a pity

that you can't interact with Ai Weiwei's vast grey field of 100 million of sunflower seeds anymore.
Semillas de porcelana

Of Gods and Men

A profound and immaculately acted movie explores the eternal questions of faith and human strengths and weaknesses. Austere and deeply moving.

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction."

Pascal

‘Life’s not always kind, is it?’

A married couple who have managed to remain blissfully happy into their autumn years, are surrounded over the course of the four seasons of one average year by friends, colleagues, and family who all seem to suffer some degree of unhappiness.
Another Year is a deeply involving, intelligent, compassionate drama of the sort only Leigh can create.
