Description - I Hogarth by Michael Dean
Hogarth's epoch-defining paintings and engravings, such as Gin Lane and The Rake's Progress, remain enormously popular. He was London's painter par excellence, and supplies the most enduring vision of the Eighteenth Century's ebullience, enjoyments and social iniquities.From a childhood spent in a debtor's prison to his death in the arms of his wife, I, Hogarth follows the life of the painter William Hogarth as he makes a name for himself and as he fights for artists with his Copyright Act. Through his lifelong marriage to Jane Thornhill, his inability to have children, his time as one of England's best portrait painters, his old age and unfortunate dip into politics, and ultimately his death, I, Hogarth reimagines the artist's dramatic life.Michael Dean blends Hogarth'slife and work into one rich narrative in such a way that Hogarth lives what he paints. Dean gives us William Hogarth's life story from poverty to enduring fame.
