Extract: This exhibition, from the fine art collection of Bradford Museums and Galleries, displays the full series of thirty-nine etchings Hockney produced in 1969 to illustrate six tales from the Brothers Grimm.

Widely known as 'the Brothers Grimm' Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) were German Academics who collected and published over 200 German folk tales in the early 1800s. Hockney read the tales and selected six - The Little Sea Hare, Fundevogel, Rapunzel, The Boy Who Left Home to Discover Fear, Old Rinkrank and Rumplestilzchen.
