David Hockney, We Two Boys Together Clinging, 1961. Image: Prudence Cuming Associates, Artwork: © David Hockney. 'The interesting thing is that one of David’s best paintings came directly from the final etching in the story, which is a picture of two boys hugging each other having been saved from what is a really monstrous vagina' —Mark Berger
Written by Mark Berger, Gretchen and the Snurl is a gay fairy-tale in which an innocent young boy called Gretchen goes out into the world and meets an alien creature named Snurl. Together, they evade a fearsome monster called the Snatch, which tries to engulf them both. Mark Berger was a student at the Royal College of Art, London, alongside David Hockney. Hockney loved the tale of Gretchen and the Snurl when Berger shared it with him, leading Berger to ask Hockney to create some accompanying illustrations. Hockney produced five etching and aquatints in response. The composition of the final illustration, a depiction of Gretchen and Snurl embracing at the end of the tale, inspired Hockney’s painting of 1961, We Two Boys Together Clinging. The painting lifts its title from a poem by Walt Whitman, often interpreted as a verse about homosexual love. Produced at a time when homosexuality was still illegal in England, the works of Hockney and Berger have an additional poignance.
