d. Klingender Transatlantic
Arts; 1850.
Long on pictures and short or
text, as art books ought more fire.
quently to be, this volume surveys
popular art in England in the 18th
and early 10Th centuries, with &C.
casional references to the past to
show models and to the future to
show directions.
Born 1897 and died 1864, Ho-
garth was England's first great
painter and, perhaps, her greatest
in any age. 1t takes no more
than the London National Gal
lery's Shrimp Grip to prove it.
He was as up-to-the minute, as
concerned with the life around
him, as his friend the novelist
Fielding. England and especially
London were the subject Of his
paintings and his caricature.
Like Daumier, he was master
in the two mediums, though unlike
the Frenchman, who came about a
century later, he did not find
ready to hand the TYPOGRAPHY so
popular in the last $50 years. He
used the copper plate.
skillful in political and social
satire, he revealed his greatest
artistic energy in such cycles as
Marriage a la Mode" ''Harlot' S
PROGRESS" and "Rakes Progress. "
In a condensed introduction Kiln
gender says blunt realism char
acterizes his work. Hogarth's etch-
ing tools indeed were so real and
blunt that in a strange way he
seems not an artist but a record
er. a plain teller Of plain tales.
But if you don't need esthetic
training to understand his story,
you do need it to appreciate how
subtly he arranges his material,
how effectively he highlights the
important figures, how securely
he establishes perspective, in
