WILLIAM HOGARTH VISIONS IN PRINT Hardback

Edited by Alice Insley

Hardback

Description

Hogarth's pictures are among the most iconic of the eighteenthcentury - his cacophonous crowds, bustling streets, polite or not-sopolitecompanies, and all too revealing tales of human folly, vividlybring the world around him to life.

Their fame and popularity rests,above all, on their widespread circulation as prints, not only inEngland but around the globe, from the artist's lifetime to today. Having first trained as an engraver, this remained an importantaspect of his art and success.

It is in print that he is often athis most creative and original, capturing, in his own words, 'theperpetual fluctuations in the manners of the times'. Taking its cue from the portfolio collections Hogarth himselfcurated, this book gathers together a selection of his best lovedand most inventive prints.
