Learning on ScreenHogarth’s Progress
- Synopsis
- Satirical, critical, talented - William Hogarth was one of the most original British artists of the 18th Century. The son of a poor schoolmaster made a name for himself as a portraitist and became best known for his satirical etchings. In strange and graphic tales, such as A Harlot’s Progress, he denounced the social and political injustices of his time. Often pirated, Hogarth fought for the first image copyright law. Together with illustrators and writers from today, Andrew Graham-Dixon explores Hogarth’s birth city London and recounts the life and work of a man who is regarded as the forerunner of modern caricature.
