Book Description
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.

Book Description
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. It is also a tale of four cities: London, Paris, Venice, and Amsterdam, represented in maps from the period. 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 Description
One of the most visible, popular, and significant artists of his generation, William Hogarth (1697–1764) is best known for his acerbic, strongly moralizing works, which were mass-produced and widely disseminated as prints during his lifetime. This volume is a fascinating look into the notorious English satirical artist’s life, presenting Anecdotes of William Hogarth, Written by Himself—a collection of autobiographical vignettes supplemented with short texts and essays written by his contemporaries, first published in 1785.

Book Description
"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"--
