	William Hogarth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The son of a poor schoolteacher and textbook writer, William Hogarth was born at Bartholomew Close in London on November 10, 1697.
		Hogarth lived in an age, when artwork became immensely commercialized, something no longer just exhibited in churches and the homes of connoisseurs, but viewed in shopwindows, taverns and public buildings and sold in printshops.
		Hogarth thus gives a gloomy view of what he perceives to be the life of the upper classes, as well as the ultimate costs of a loveless arranged marriage.

		Hogarth was instrumental in establishing both an autonomous identity for British art and a space for its exhibition; he invented an entirely new and democratic art form and had a copyright bill named after him.
		Hogarth, who had his own powerful moral and artistic integrity, balanced his career finely between the financial need to accommodate the taste of this new class of patrons, his desire to provide a critique of the downside of fashionable London life and his striving to be taken seriously as a British artist.
		Hogarth's interest in the theatre was a crucial part of his life and art; one of his lifelong friends was the actor John Garrick.

		Hogarth acknowledges this literary dimension in his famous self-portrait of 1745, a painting within a painting, in which his oval-framed self-portrait rests on three bound volumes, marked Shakespeare, Milton and Swift, indicating his desire to be thought of as drawing on, and sharing in, the English literary traditions of the theatre, epic and satire.

	William Hogarth
		Hogarth claimed to be cultivating a field "not yet broken up in any country or any age", that his works were "in the historical style", but of an "intermediate species of subject, which may be placed between the sublime and the grotesque".
		Hogarth, tired of this evil, reacted with characteristic vigour; he got influential friends to pressure Parliament until, in 1735, it passed a copyright bill (known as "Hogarth's Act") protecting artist's rights in the reproductions of their works.
		Hogarth assumed control of the art school, endowed it and supervised the curriculum, hoping against his suspicions that he might discover a method other than his own "whereby talent might be developed freely and not shaped to copy the dead for the dealers".

		William Hogarth (1697-1763) was essentially a painter and an engraver.
		Contemporary cartoonists in Britain are indebted to Hogarth for a tradition of political and satirical that has actually become part of the democratic process.
		It may be also worth saying that since Hogarth’s pictures have to be ‘read’ to be fully appreciated with so many visual puns, play on words, and one liners in them, the experience is actually more like reading a magazine than gazing passively at a work of art.

	William Hogarth
		William Hogarth was a British painter and engraver, noted particularly for his observation of English manners and customs and for his satirization of the excesses of his age.
		Hogarth’s remarkably exuberant satire of a marriage entered into for money, his pungent observation of upper-class life, and his mastery of complex scenes find perhaps their highest expression in his paintings of upper-class life, generally considered to be his finest works.
		Though never neglected, Hogarth was chiefly remembered for his satiric engraings, and, as with that other lonely pioneer, the 19th century painter J.M.W. Turner, the implications of his work were better understood on the Continent than in England.

	William Hogarth As Chronicler
		Hogarth's position as a chronicler is indisputably higher than his place as an artist.
		If Hogarth lacked frequently that "infinite capacity for taking pains" which has been proclaimed the constituent of genius, there can be no question as to the thoroughness with which the smallest details were thought out and incorporated.
		An objection raised against the value of Hogarth's pictures as complete presentments of their time is, that whereas he only painted scenes of human frailty and misfortune, there existed a virtuous aspect even in the society of that degenerate age ; consequently that at best he is only an ex parte chronicler.
