The Arts Society Ashdown Forest lecture by Hilary Williams
Hogarth: a Harlot, a Rake and a Marriage.”
William Hogarth (1697-1764) aimed to be the first, native born leader of the British School of painting. As a Londoner, he was in a city which claimed to be ‘the capital of the world’ during his lifetime. With great wealth, there was great social deprivation. Hogarth used his art, especially his remarkable prints, to spread a social message, often laced with satire. Through drawings, prints and oil paintings and packed with great stories, this lecture discusses his series of compositions for his Harlot’s Progress (1732), The Rake’s Progress (1732-5) and his Marriage-a-la-Mode (1743-5) and what they mean
