To celebrate the 300th anniversary of the birth of British artist William Hogarth, one of Britain's most influential artists, the Mary and Leigh Block Gallery at Northwestern University has organized an exhibition of more than 100 works drawn primarily from the Northwestern University Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections. N.H. The exhibition was assembled by guest curator Angela Rosenthal, Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Art History, with the help of eight graduate student co-curators enrolled in a seminar on art objects that is part of the graduate program in art history at Northwestern. The exhibition of prints and objects is a critical reexamination of Hogarth's graphic art that introduces modern day visitors to a variety of themes that run through his work and remain timely to the contemporary viewer. The Sculpture Garden contains one of the major sculpture collections in this region and offers visitors an opportunity to view 20th century sculpture by well known artists such as Henry Moore, Joan Miro, Jacques Lipchitz, Jean Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Jean Ipousteguy, Arnoldo Pomodoro, Virginia Ferrari and Antoine Poncet. Each work is situated in a landscaped setting so that it can be appreciated alone or in relation to the surrounding landscape.
