Good Condition Paper Size: 10 x 6 inch (25 x 16cm) William Hogarth 1833 Mixed Lot of 10 Steel Engravings. Book Plates William Hogarth (1697-1764), Painter and his Pug, 1745 English painter, engraver, creator of cartoon satires and engravings. He created drawings reminiscent of today’s comics. The artist has influenced many Moralist painters, including Jean Greuze, Jacques David and, according to some critics, Francisco Goya. His works are mainly found in English and American collections. Apparently Hogarth became a member of the Fraternity between 1725 and 1728. he records of the Grand Lodge of England show him as a member of the lodge meeting at the “Hand and Apple Tree,” Little Queen Street, London; and in 1730, of the “Corner Stone” Lodge. William Hogarth is widely considered to be one of the "Big Three" of 18th century cartooning, together with James Gillray and George Cruikshank. David Low even considered him "the grandfather of the political cartoon". Yet Hogarth was actually closer to being a painter than a cartoonist. While he made some caricatures during his career he mostly brushed full-blown realistic paintings, both in technique as well as content. His work is almost a mirror of 18th century society in its extensiveness: politics, the judiciary, the theatre, fashions... even the more seamy side of life wasn't avoided: prostitution, alcohol abuse, mental asylums and debtor's prisons. Hogarth both satirized as well as moralized his life and times. The thing that makes Hogarth the missing link between painting and cartooning is his use of sequences. Some of his images are part of a conceptual theme and actually tell a story when placed in chronological order. Together with Francis Barlow, who made a similar sequential narrative almost half a century before, Hogarth can be seen as the first prototypical British comics artist.
