CREA 188 PZ -Hogarth and 18th Century Culture & Literature

Institution: Pitzer

Description: We’ll be studying visual satires, pictures with humor that also bite, by the English artist William Hogarth (1697-1764), a pioneer of (post)modern comics and picture stories. Hogarth was the “author” of narrative satires like A HARLOT’S PROGRESS and A RAKE’S PROGRESS, often imitated but never rivaled for their satirical and technical excellence. His most important series will be discussed in detail, including the cultural and literary background that inspired his satirical visual narratives.
