William Hogarth (1697-1764) is certainly one of the most versatile,
innovative and celebrated of all British artists. He lived at a
time when Britain was emerging as an increasingly urbanized,
commercialized and aggressively imperial power. Like many other
artists, he exploited and benefited from these changes in British
society. Among his contemporaries, it was Hogarth who commented
most brilliantly on society - both positively and negatively. His
work celebrates the benefits of commerce, politeness and patriotism
while simultaneously focusing on the corruption, hypocrisy and
prejudice they brought in their wake. In paint and in print we are
shown the two contrasting sides of modernity. This book explores
and explains the dramatic duality within Hogarth's work, and in
doing so gives us a greater sense of the contradictions and
complexities that existed within eighteenth-century British
society.
