Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hogarth, France and British Art is a radical reappraisal of the art and achievement of William Hogarth (1697-1764). Hogarth has long been viewed as an insular and chauvinistic individual, with a particular aversion to all things French. On the contrary, while Hogarth himself liked to project this image, his effective invention of British art was founded upon a profound knowledge of contemporary French art and theory. This lavishly illustrated book conjures up in great detail the French and wider European context within which Hogarth's art was formed. The author examines the ways in which Hogarth interacted with and influenced his contemporaries not only in painting and print-making, but also in sculpture, poetry, the novel, the theatre, public life, art education, copyright law, music, and opera. In this wide-ranging but richly detailed book, full of analyses of individual works, Robin Simon draws upon a mass of new material, with fresh considerations of Hogarth's most famous and less well-known works alike, opening a window on to one of the most creative and formative periods in British life.

Download or read book Hogarth and his Place in European Art written by Frederick Antal and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1962, Hogarth and his Place in European Art attempts to convey the historical relevance, both in its native and European context, of perhaps the most outstanding English painter of the eighteenth century. Dr. Antal applies his method of establishing the close relationship between the political and social history and the arts and letters of the period. Thus, the book goes far beyond the limits of art historical appreciation. It gives a panoramic picture of the first half of the eighteenth century in England with all its social, literary, and artistic connotations. He shows how England, which during those years became both politically and economically the most advanced country in Europe, could provide in Hogarth, in spite of the slender native tradition, the most progressive artistic personality of his time – whose work revealed the views and tastes of a broad cross-section of society. He traces Hogarth’s stylistic origins back to their European sources and analyses his impact on contemporary European and English art as well as the influence he exerted on generations to come. This book will be of interest to students of art, art history, literature, and European history.
Download or read book Hogarth Second World of Art written by David Bindman and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, updated edition of this illuminating study on William Hogarth, one of the eighteenth century’s most famous artists and satirists. William Hogarth (1697–1764) was one of the great eighteenth-century painters, a marvelous colorist, and an innovator at all levels of artistic expression. In this updated volume, art historian and Hogarth scholar David Bindman surveys the works of this artist whose wry humor and sharp wit was reflected in his prolific paintings and prints, including The Rake’s Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode. Hogarth was also a master of pictorial satire, highlighting the moral and political issues of the day with delightful detail and comedy—themes that resonate deeply with our times. This new edition has been specially updated to include a discussion of Hogarth’s representation of Black people in eighteenth-century Britain, a subject that has long been overlooked in his many works. Now revised with additional material and illustrated in color throughout, this is a vivid and incisive study of the artist.
Download or read book Hogarth Art and politics 1750 1764 written by Ronald Paulson and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final volume takes Hogarth from his fifty-third year to his death at sixty-seven. The period opens with Hogarth at the height of his powers; a figure of influence with the literary generation of Richardson and Fielding known to an unprecedented spectrum of English men and women. At this point, Hogarth chose to philosophize about art, extending his successful practice into aesthetic theory, in The Analysis of Beauty (1753)--partly in reaction to the agitation for an art academy based on the French model, partly out of the conviction that his art required verbal validation, and partly (some contemporaries felt) out of hubris. At the same moment, the hard-won fabric of his reputation began to unravel. A new generation had arisen--some friendly and interested in building on Hogarth's achievement, but some determined to supercede what seemed to be a figure too insular to represent English art and culture to the world. The consequences--given his own doggedness and the shifting allegiances of former friends--were tumultuous, and darkened the last years of Hogarth's life. For the first time in his career he found himself apparently out of step with his times--isolated and obsolescent. Although these cannot be called happy years, they elicited from Hogarth some of his most brilliant and audacious works, in writing as well as painting and engraving. In many ways he had already anticipated the Reynolds generation, pointing the way into the Promised Land, but disagreeing over the nature of that promise. More than the earlier two volumes, Art and Politics focuses on the reception of Hogarth and his works. The paranoid strain in Hogarth responded to the notion of being attacked, reflecting his increasing fear of the general audience he had himself helped to create as no longer a public but a crowd.

Download or read book Hogarth and His Times written by David Bindman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: How William Hogarth and artists across Europe captured the new modernity of the 18th century, revealing themes still strikingly relevant today Illustrating the full range of Hogarth's most important paintings and prints, this book shows them in a new light, juxtaposed with work by major European contemporaries who influenced him or took their inspiration from him in their painting of modern life--including Watteau, Chardin, Troost, and Longhi. Hogarth is revealed not only as a key figure in British art history, but also as a major European artist.

The themes of city life, social protest, sexuality, and satire, which come to the fore in the art of Hogarth and his contemporaries, are very much alive today.

Book excerpt: "Hogarth" by C. Lewis Hind is a biography. Hogarth was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. His work ranges from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", and he is perhaps best known for his series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress, and Marriage A-la-Mode.

Download or read book Enduring Presence written by Caroline Patey and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Long after his death in 1764, the artist William Hogarth is still our contemporary. Far from leading a confined existence in museums and academies, his legacy of vibrant images and provocative ideas remains a powerful source of inventiveness and inspiration for the artists of today, as once for those of yesterday, be it on page, stage, canvas or digital. After approaching the artist by way of his challenging aesthetic philosophy and his resistance to normative categories, this two-book set considers Hogarth's pioneering sense of performativity which made - and makes- him the interlocutor of actors and playwrights, from David Garrick to Bertolt Brecht or Nick Dear. While his conversations with film, television, graphic novel and modern art bear witness to the artist's almost prophetic use of images, the world of the novel, British and else, reveals unexpected areas of cross-pollination, particularly striking in the modernist age or present time narrative. Brimming as it is with energy, disorder, loss and empathy, Hogarth's contradictory universe of chaos and beauty is in tune with ours and resonates vividly with today's passions and struggles. The twenty-eight essays in this collection chart the teeming legacies of William Hogarth and explore the ways in which his works and ideas were - and still are - revisited and appropriated in the UK and across Europe in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Hogarth is thus discovered as an unforgotten living presence, whose invigorating and challenging memory energizes multiple expressive forms, from drama to narrative, graphic novel or TV serials"--
