Product Description

Product Description

The reputation of William Hogarth (1697-1764) rests largely on his pictorial stories, a series of engravings that he called "modern Moral Subjects," the most famous being the Harlot's and the Rake's Progress. In this catalog, David Bindman works backward from Hogarth's reputation today--where he is seen by some as a conservative populist and by others as a political radical--and examines his impact on various artists over the past three centuries. Bindman also sets Hogarth's prints firmly in their historical context, discussing the artist's public and the different influences on his work, from Roman satire to the politics of the day. The result is an engaging and insightful portrayal not only of William Hogarth, but also of the middle years of the eighteenth century. Art lovers will enjoy this book, but so too will anyone with an interest in the literature and history of the mid-eighteenth century.

About the Author

David Bindman lectures on the History of Art at University College, London. He is the author of many books, including The Complete Graphic Works of William Blake.

This review is from: Hogarth and His Times (Paperback)
Hogarth is a new discovery for me.
Once you get used to the painterly conventions of his times,his etchings and prints give a very clear picture of what it must've been like to live in those houses, to walk those streets, and to meet his people. The other painters & engravers shown for comparison lack his immediacy. I plan to get hold of some larger versions of my favorite of his prints. There is so much happening in them.
