Abstract

Hogarth's prints hang in our pubs and leap out from our history-books. He painted the great and good but also the common people. His art is comically exuberant, 'carried away by a passion for the ridiculous', as Hazlitt said.In this rich, immensely pleasurable biography Jenny Uglow, acclaimed author of Elizabeth Gaskell, uncovers the man, but also the worlds he sprang from and created. After striving years as an engraver and painter, Hogarth leapt into lasting fame with his progresses of the Harlot and the Rake, the fashionable Marriage à la Mode, and the violent scenes of Gin Lane and the Stages of Cruelty. An artist of flamboyant, overflowing imagination, he was a satirist with an unerring eye; a painter of vibrant colour and tenderness; an ambitious professional who broke all the art-world taboos. Never content, he wanted to excel at everything - from engraving to history painting - and a note of risk runs through his life.In Hogarth: A Life and a World, art history comes to life in the voices of Hogarth's own age. The result is an unforgettable portrait of a great artist and a proud, stubborn, comic, vulnerable man.

Abstract

This illustrated three-volume catalogue of the works of painter and engraver William Hogarth (1697-1764) was the result of 'Hogarthomania', the enthusiasm for all his productions which arose soon after his death. The publisher and author John Nichols (1745-1826), assisted by the collector and literary critic George Steevens, published a life of Hogarth and a list of his works in 1781, and as disputes increasingly arose over the genuineness of some of the prints attributed to him, enlarged versions appeared in 1782 and 1785. This work, published between 1808 and 1817, is the last in the sequence of Nichols' works on Hogarth, and remains a useful source for art historians and anyone interested in the cultural life of the eighteenth century. Volume 1 contains a biography of Hogarth and a short account of the continuing issues of his prints after his death.

Abstract

Aujourd'hui, William Hogarth (1697-1764) est surtout apprécié pour sa fibre satirique, pour sa vision acerbe et parfois comique d'une société britannique rongée par la corruption et l'hypocrisie. Célèbres sont ses récits en images, qui mettent en scène des personnages imparfaits ou maudits par le destin - prostituées, libertins, alcooliques, rustres, voleurs et meurtriers - qui vivaient et mouraient en marge de la société respectable. C'était aussi un artiste novateur et ambitieux dans d'autres genres, notamment ceux du portrait, de la peinture d'histoire et de la théorie de l'art : toutes disciplines qu'il pratiqua indifféremment suivant une interprétation personnelle et originale des caractéristiques formelles de la Beauté fondée sur la notion de " variété " pour traduire " l'infinie variété " de formes et de couleurs de la Nature. Par cette polyvalence et cette aisance à passer d'un genre à un autre, Hogarth fut très tôt reconnu par ses pairs comme le plus grand peintre et graveur anglais de son temps, et sa réputation d'artiste original et inventif, capable de réagir à l'actualité sociale et culturelle, ne cessa de croître. Il contribua à défendre la peinture et la gravure britanniques pour les hisser au niveau de ce qui se faisait de mieux sur le continent. Pour bien comprendre le riche héritage légué par Hogarth, le présent ouvrage, catalogue d'une exposition organisée par la Tate Britain et le musée du Louvre, s'attache à retracer sa vie et carrière, à évoquer la diversité des cultures, artistiques dont il se réclame et à décrire l'ambiance cosmopolite londonienne dans laquelle il vécut. (Quatrième de couverture)
